This is a good OpenELEC nettop. You can learn more about it in the Celeron 847 mini-ITX thread. AMD E-350 also works nicely for OpenELEC.

A raspberry Pi might be all you need.

16 gb usb 3.0 flash drive
And i would Buy a nice htpc case
Would would this work

It would definitely work with OpenELEC. I would try it without the GTS250. Intel is well supported with OpenELEC.
