I understand that it is overkill for openelec, as I said previously I am going with a windows build instead and also decided I wanted it to handle some light gaming too!
@dougie, judging by your sig, you look like a case expert. Does the case I chose fit this build or could I possibly go smaller?
Sorry, totally missed that. I think for a mini-ITX build, the A10-5800K is going to be tough to cool. You might be able to get a Scythe Shuriken in that PC-Q12 case you link but I'd be inclined to go with a bigger case if you have you heart set on the A10-5800K.
