Building own Desktop

Is this configuration compatible and worth it?

Where do I begin?
1. You've got a cpu but no motherboard
2. You've got 3 pci-express cards but most mini-itx boards only support 1 - the only mini-dtx (2-slot) board listed at pcpartpicker is an Atom board. Get the USB wifi card and use the onboard audio.
3. What are you using it for that you'd only need 2GB of ram?
I don't know whether that cooler is worth getting instead of using the stock cooler, but I think the rest of the build is ok.

Why 2 WiFi cards?

1. I couldn't find a compatible mother board
2. Thanks for the info
3. I was going to add my other computers 2gb ram to this one
4. I might overclock my processor
Can you choose a case and motherboard for me?

I need to know more about your planned usage, budget, etc. so please fill in a copy of the template:

Some advice I can give you in the meantime:
I don't recommend overclocking with a low-profile cooler. The Elite 120 you had before wouldn't fit a Hyper 212 evo, so you'd probably have to get a sealed-loop liquid cooler. Alternatively, you could get a BitFenix Prodigy, which as I understand can fit the 212 evo. If you don't need mini-itx and want the ATX board in your newer list, you could get a Cooler Master HAF 922.
