I was looking to bring my current build into a 250-D case (components listed below) because of overall noise and dust consumption, and was wondering if there were any issues with the build. Also I really need help picking out a mini-itx mobo. I had my eye on this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132122 and was wondering if it was a good fit for my parts.

i5-3570k
H80i

16 GB Hyper X Red (have to downgrade to 8GB though because of mini-itx)
Crappy AS-Rock mobo
Thanks a lot for your input
