Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
That's pretty big footprint for an SFF, but I assume you've already considered that. Big plus on the cool factor, it's a fishbowl, er, um fishbox!
Overall, I'd say the plan is good, including the cpu cooler. Keeping your case cool with that video card dumping hot air into it and no overhead...

Free 3 day ship, and free Dirt3. Honestly I don't know how many free copies of Dirt I have, but here's another for the heap!
The new shuttle R5 (standard ITX) formats along with the powerful 500w psu is a powerful combo. Why not go for the shuttle instead of something like it? (I ask that factually, not rhetorically)
SZ77R5 or SX79R5 would be my recommendation.
Yes I fatfingered that, and doesn't look like I can edit the subject, sorry.
