i'm specing myself a mini-ITX pc, but im not sure if everything will fit

CPU - i5 750
Motherboard - DFi Lanparty LP MI P55-T36 mini-ITX, LGA 1156, MB
Case - Lian Li PC-Q07B, Black CASE
PSU - 450W Corsair CMPSU-450HXUK
GPU - Asus EAH5750 FORMULA single slot cooler height version GPU
Cooler - Zalman CNPS8700-LED CPU with Zalman ZM-CS5B I5 Socket Bracket
HDD - samsung F3 with Scythe Hard Disk Stabiliser II in the 5.25" bay
totalling £670 inc shipping
i have experiance in building desktops, but unfortunately space has never been an issue for me when specing my parts - my last 2 PCs were housed in a lian li V2000 and V2110:p

key areas im concerned about are

the GPU length, is it too big?
im less worried about the height as i plan to remove the hdd mounting mechinism anyway

height of the CPU cooler

fan direction of the cpu cooler with the PSU fan

height of the RAM heatsinks

i am set on the case and cpu, ideally i want a 57XX or 58XX(if someones made a very small one :D) series card, if this is not possible recommend me the best price to performance GPU i can have.

my budget is £850 but can go a bit over

no i dont think it does but apparently the Alpenföhn is 66mm tall and that leaves 3mm to the PSU.. the zalman is 67mm so it "should" fit. but you might want to wait until the board arrives and measure distances to the northbridge HS and the ram modules just to make sure..
 
My bad, I hadn't realised Corsair had made a HX 450, I assumed it was the VX 450 which has been around for a while and isn't modular.
