Help Building a Mini-ITX PC

[wetblowdryer]

I live in the United States and I want a mini-PC. I currently have a spare 4k monitor I want to use it with. I guess I don't really have a budget per se, but I would like to keep costs down. I also have a spare i5 8400, which makes getting an Intel NUC out of the question even though that would be the best option. The uses are for coding and general light use. My requirements are below:

 

Fairly small, small as possible.

MoBo compatible with 8400.

MoBo has to have integrated Bluetooth and Wifi.

Thunderbolt would be nice but not a requirement

It would be very nice if case had a vesa mount so I could put it on the back of the monitor.

 

I'm fine with picking out the components, but when it comes to the case and PSU, I get kind of confused, especially with size constraints. I also don't plan on using a GPU because I don't see a need for one.

 

Thanks.

it fits an ATX PSU but smaller helps organization

That would not work. It's an LG monitor with one of those stupid crescent stands. 27" and surprisingly heavy. I'm not sure about its center of gravity, but it would at best look hilariously stupid with its arms hanging off, at worst fall off. For reference, the stand's width is literally double that of the case and the length is about 8.5". Also, if I had a choice, I would rather a skinny and long case than a cube one, but thanks for the suggestion.
