Rebuilding into SG05

I've currently got a Thermaltake Kandalf, and want to rebuild my machine into a compact case to fit under the TV for gaming. The spare room isn't going to be any good for my PC any more, and there's nowhere else to set up a desktop.

I've limited space, the SG05 fits the bill.

I'm thinking of a board like the Asus H81I-Plus Intel H81, using my existing i7-3770k, 6850, 8GB (2x4)and SSD.

From what I can gather the 300W PSU will cope ok, is there anything else I need to consider before ordering?

No plans to overclock, it's plenty fast for me at stock.
I've currently got the stock cooler, and improving that is something I thought about too. Something quieter.
Any upgrades/replacements would be to lower power and noise use rather than speed increases.

£30 extra would be quite a chunk of what I would like to spend, I'm aiming to spend as little as possible to get it working, if 300W will work I'd rather use that money towards cooling.

Thanks! Exactly the kind of oversight I was hoping someone might point out.

I'll get a board I can actually use

Thanks for the advice, I had a look at the ATX PSU option, but what I have now is a bit of a silly size, it had difficulty fitting in the Kandalf.

I've made an order and should be building by Wednesday!
