PSU seems over powered considering you can only run a single card on itx.

Case is not the itx version.

Yes.

You will need to take the HDD cage out for that card.

Thanks Stulid, I won't need an optical drive anyhow.

Thank you Don Stulid.

Check out the Superflower golden green 550W PSU. I had one in my mITX build and it was great (although its not a modular PSU).
