Mini ITX Spec check

Looking to build a desktop for moving house.

Unsure on ram/cooler and whether this will all fit in the case or not.

Any suggestions?

This, exactly. Either get a h60 or a big air cooler, though if you are getting a big air cooler (which will fit). You don't want to get the ASRock board (see below)

The Asrock board has the socket to close to the PCI-E lane for a big air cooler and GPU to fit comfortably.

This board doesn't have that problem: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-530-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=2071

If you look at the pictures of both, you can physically see the difference.

The P8Z77-I Deluxe then, are these decent for overclocking?

The h60 will fit okay with that and the case?

Is the ram a reasonable combo or should I be looking at something else?

I have heard it's really good yes.

The H60 will fit fine, may a bit fiddly to fit, but small cases always are. If you are using the H60 you can go for a the ASrock motherboard, which is cheaper, a decent overclocker but doesn't support big air coolers.

That Ram will work fine.
