Hello I am considering building a 3-In-One gaming box/home server/media center. Because of its 3 purposes, it has a strange list of hardware. Here is what I have picked out so far (note that I may not buy all of the hardware from Newegg due to pricing or availability.)

Probably run the newest Microsoft server OS, i don't even know which one that is lol.
The main reason i listed the hardware was to see if there would be any compatibility concerns. The main one I see is with the Xeon processor and Zotac ITX board. It is listed as supported C2Duo and quad intel socket 775 but makes no mention of xeon. I am interested in xeon because of the increased reliability and comparable price to the desktop flavor. Another issue i see is whether or not 300watts would be enough for this setup. I believe if it is 300 watts continuous then yes, but if peak then no.
Please PLEASE help me and list any issues you see with this build. Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to seeing some valuable feedback.
