And that'll be alright with the cooler and PSU airflow? I ask because I havent been able to find any sizes for the cooler.

I probably wouldn't use an AMD stock cooler as they're deafening but you could get something like a Noctua L9i if you have the funds. Otherwise, install it with the stock cooler, determine if things seem cool and quiet enough for your taste and then decide whether or not to buy another cooler.

So I'm in the process of building a cheapo ITX system, and it would be my first ITX build.

 

I have an EVGA 400w ATX PSU, and the stock cooler for an 860k.

 

What case will these two fit into with a decent airflow? I was looking at the SilverStone SG13B, and the Cooler Master Elite 130. 

 

Will I be alright with any of these?

What GPU are you using? An EVGA 400W is a poor quality PSU and shouldn't really be used with anything better than a 750ti.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

OK, well it sounds good to me. I like the Elite 130 a lot so I'd go for that.
