AX 860i is more than enough. You would be fine on a CX600M.

Both PSU's are overkill, id go with an RM750 or even an RM650. 750W would still leave room for an upgrade.

Well you aren't going to be adding another GPU to an mITX build, so you don't really need room to upgrade. Even with overclocking, 600W is fine.

They're all overkill. Go with a good 550w like the rm550 or Seasonic 550 G.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

It is literally impossible for an M-ITX system to use more than 700W, even with an R9 295x2 and 9 HDDs.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

how do you want to upgrade something in a build with an mITX MoBo?

a 295x2 in an mITX build would be a pretty complicated build because that card is huge

Fits easily in a BitFenix Prodigy.
