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
