Micro-ATX Build Help

Building a pc for a mate, this is the list of hardware that i have chosen:

Just wanted to make sure that all of that hardware will fit and are compatible with each other. He's only using it for surfing the net, playing music and videos. Any suggestions would be great!

A propper power supply could be useful (even a branded 400w one) especially if your friend suddenly wants to jump into gaming (as that proc would be rather good for it...)

Seems like overkill if there's no gaming involved, look at cheaper CPU/Mobo/RAM(6400) and that cooler probably won't fit but the retail cooler will. If he watches any HD stuff an AMD 780G board and a 45w processor (4050e) would be ideal.

What's wrong with a 380w SeaSonic?

okay; anyone know if the frezzer 7 will fit in the antec nsk 3480; if not what other cpu cooler should i get? looking for a silent one!

EDIT: had a look at the Arctic Cooling Alpine 7 Pro and that looks more likley to fit; can anyone confirm?
