Case that will fit standard components and VESA mountable?

[Inspector Gadget]

As per title, I am looking for a case that is large enough to for standard desktop components so as to ensure it is upgradable in the future whilst also being small enough to mount to the back of a monitor. I have been searching but am struggling to know whether standard components will fit as I am an amateur with things like this.

I was looking at this case, but now sure whether it will fit standard components (I would imagine not as it's tiny):

any help greatly appreciated.

P.S. As I intend to mount it to the back of a monitor, I don't care what it looks like. Many thanks.

Standard ATX and dGPU or something like ITX/Micro-ATX/Mini-STX with iGPU?

Thanks for the reply, something as small and slim as possible would be ideal, so preferably a mini ITX or micro ATX, however I would like to be able to fit a GPU into the case if I decide to upgrade in the future, even if it is a low profile GPU. So basically I am looking for the smallest case possible that would allow me to insert standard desktop parts whilst having a VESA mount so it can be mounted to the back of a monitor. I would also be okay with an APU instead of a GPU if a dedicated GPU is not feasible.

Looks like an APU is your only choice for this project I looked around with a dGPU option are too large to mount to a monitor. are you looking for gaming performance or just regular CPU work?

Sorry for the late reply, it will mainly be used for CPU work although a little gaming too. An APU should be okay for light gaming, are they good enough on the CPU front?

Ya AMD's APU's are more than enough for office and daily use.
