Mini-ITX PC build, Help?

[Ryan Macfarlane]

Hi, I am looking to build a low-spec Mini-ITX gaming PC in the Akasa Euler case, this case is very thin, and will only accept thinner Mini-ITX motherboards.

I will be purchasing the PC this week and am looking to spend no more than £400 on a Case, Mobo, CPU and PSU as I already have 2 x 2GB 1333MHz SO-DIMM RAM and a spare OCZ agility 2.5'' 32GB SSD available. This PC will be used mostly to run console emulators e.g. PS1, N64, Gamecube. I know that the Intel 3000 HD integrated graphics on the i3 processor is enough to run these emulators at 30FPS, from experience with similar hardware. I already have a monitor, and won't be expecting to utilise anything more than 1024x768 resolution with this machine. The only thing I am really unsure about is the PSU, the one I have specified is 160W which I believe is more than enough for a system of this kind, but I need one that will fit in the above case, Are all of these components compatible? Can anyone help me out here?

I would also like to upgrade this machine eventually and give it a GPU such as the Asus GeForce GTX 670 Mini 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card -

Is this also a viable option? Thanks in advance

The power supply with this case is will not support a discrete GPU that requires external power, the case will also not support a discrete GPU. You will not be able to upgrade. You will want an external USB hard drive to store the ISO's, 32GB is hardly enough for Windows. I'm sure you want more than 3 or 4 games at a time.
