Hi Guys,

1. Will the parts actually fit into the case - Cooler Master Elite 130?
2. Is there sufficient cooling for my set up?

1. Yes. Stick with an mITX motherboard and you're safe.
2. The CM Seidon 120 will fit and is probably as good as it gets for that tight space.

I wouldn't recommend using the CM GX750. It is not the best quality PSU you can find and you definitely shouldn't skimp on a decent PSU. It is also not modular and you need to remove any unnecessary cables in a cramped mITX case. Get Seasonic G550; 550W is sufficient for a single GTX770.
