Depending on the case and GPU that you have selected. What are your full complete list of parts, so we can assist you better?

BTW, the GPU will fit in the slot without issues, it's the other parts that we are concerned about.

Here is what I'd consider:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

* CPU is unlocked, so you can OC it if you desire that later down the road.
* RAM is faster, since the iGPU will need more RAM bandwidth, if possible.
* PSU is 80 Plus Bronze Certified and I wouldn't trust that PSU that you selected.

Or if you want a little more room and also get at least 1 x front USB 3.0 port:

* CPU is the best for the $ at this budget.
* CPU HSF to keep things a bit cooler and isn't too big.
* Mobo supports front USB 3.0 ports, which the case in this build has 1 x USB 3.0 port!
* Added an SSD to keep things responsive in and around Windows!
* Case has 1 x front USB 3.0 port!
* PSU is semi-modular and is 80 Plus Bronze Certified!
