Also watch out for the ram height, some coolers will not allow much room for ram height.

Do you need a GPU for this build, I think if that is the way you are going you will have a great gaming HTPC BUT I don't think all this in an ITX case with a PicoPSU is going to cut it. My advice is to look at a microATX build for better cooling and the ability to have a more powerful PSU.
