Here are the parts I've got lined up so far
Case - M300
http://www.mini-box.com/M300-Enclosure-w-Bootable-CF-Reader_2
PSU - 160W PicoPSU + 192W AC/DC adapter
http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-192-XT-192W-Adapter-Power-Kit
PCIe X16 Riser Card

CPU - Sandy Bridges i3 2120T

GPU - XFX 6670
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150545
RAM - 8gb Corsair XMS3 1333mhz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145315
Motherboard - ASRock H67M-ITX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157238
SSD - Crucial M4 64gb

I already have the SSD, MB, and RAM on hand from a previous build.
Quick questions:
Will the PSU support the 6670? The power consumption graphs I've seen support that it should.
Will the Intel stock HSF be enough for the 2120T?
Are there any other extremely low profile HSFs that are decent for 1155?
Is it alright that the 6670 will be sitting directly on top of the HSF, more or less?
The M300 case doesn't have much airflow. With all these components, I'm thinking about cutting a large hole in the top of the case and replacing it with honeycomb mesh. This way the 6670 will draw in fresh air from the top of the case, and the M300's two 40mm fans will be able to draw in air as well.
Thanks in advance!
