This build is for an office PC, no gaming will be played on this PC. Parts will be sourced in the UK with a budget of around £350. I intend to use the stock cooler. The PC will be placed on a desktop in a vertical orientation.

Am I likely to have problems with the PSU, can it be replaced if it breaks down? Is heat likely to be an issue? Am I better purchasing a Thermaltake Core V1 Mini ITX Tower Case or a Silverstone Sugo SG13B Mini ITX Tower Case?
