1. I strongly recommend a higher wattage PSU, 380w barely sustains your systems max load (325w). 500w will support your system well. I recommend Seasonic, XFX, Antec HCG series, or corsair AX (there are others, but that's a good short list to start from)

2. You have a mini-ITX board with an ATX case. What do you want here? Mini-ITX boards are for making tiny PC's. If that's what you want, you also need a mini-ITX case. If you want a regular sized PC, use an ATX board. You'll get more features and better thermals for your money.

What do you recommend for the board (About the same price for the Mini-ITX board, if possible)?

I still don't know what you want. Are you trying to make a PC that fits on a bookshelf, or do you just want as much performance as you can get, regardless of size?
