Small form factor PC opinions/ideas needed

Hi,

I just sold the majority of my parts, I want to build a smaller PC for on my desk.

I want it to be a silent, good looking, but powerful PC that doesn't look out of place on my desk.

Preferably white, because I'm getting a black IKEA desk as well.

Mostly used for gaming or light video editing/photoshop, I don't think i need an i7 (if my budget would allow)

Parts I already have:

Palit GTX 760 (reference), Storage (HDD+SSD), 8GB 1600 mhz RAM

Budget is about 550 euros, no need for peripherals/displays. Already have an OS.

Location: NL, handy site to find out prices: http://tweakers.net (not twerkers)

Build I came up with:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($229.98 @ OutletPC)

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L12 37.8 CFM CPU Cooler ($69.97 @ OutletPC)

Motherboard: ASRock Z87E-ITX Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard ($129.99 @ Newegg)

Case: Fractal Design Node 304 Mini ITX Tower Case ($89.99 @ NCIX US)

Power Supply: Corsair RM 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($109.99 @ Amazon)

Total: $629.92

(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

Any help is very much appreciated, would love to see any tips/ideas :)

Yeah looks great... Not much to add except case ideas that I think you may not have looked at. The cubitek mini cube you can find at ncix. Xigmatek also has a beautiful case coming out. The Aquila... Although its micro atx and if you go for micro atx you may want a bigger power supply to expand
