Micro-atx Build - Look OK??

[petrel]

I just wondered if this OK as a build for a micro-atx in a BitFenix Prodigy case. The main use is general stuff and Lightroom/Photography, not gaming. I'd likely do an overclock at some stage but nothing fancy, since stability matters for my needs.

Intel Core i5-3570 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) £161.99
Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe Mini ITX £159.98
Samsung 250GB SSD 840 SATA 6Gb/s Basic £139.99
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit £100.00
Sapphire HD 7750 Ultimate 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express £95.99
LG BH16NS40 16x SATA Internal BDRW £79.99
Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB HDD £76.99
BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case - Midnight Black £66.98
BeQuiet Pure Power L8 530W Modular Power Supply £66.95
Corsair Hydro H60 V2 Liquid CPU Cooler £59.99
Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 £39.95
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g) £8.99

Sub Total : £881.49
Shipping : £11.75
VAT : £178.65
Total : £1,071.89

Some things I'm not sure of are

Will the PSU fit and is it the right power level? Too much?
Will the Hydro cooler fit inc. its fan and is it the right one?
Will the graphics card fit OK?
Maybe I should go for 16 gigs of memory but not sure if that's OK with this board.
Is it worth buying this mobo? Looks good but it costs.

Any reactions much appreciated. TIA

That's a mini-itx build not micro-atx!

You'll need a 'k' processor if you want to do an overclock at some point. The others are locked down these days.

Everything you've picked will go together fine. The PSU is slightly overspecced but better that than the other way round.

Similar price but with a better GPU, and a faster SSD. Plus the 2 free games that come with the graphics card can be sold on to make it even cheaper so it's a win win. The Silverstone power supply is also a good choice for the prodigy case as it is only 140mm deep and is fully modular. The HIS graphics card also expels the hot air out of the case which is a bonus.

Thanks very much guys, your replies are very helpful. I will certainly take a close look at your suggestions, Lee32uk.
