Instead of inundating you with unnecessary information like my brain generally likes to do, I'm going to keep it short and sweet.
CPU - Intel i3-3220
Mobo - ASRock H67m-ITX (This is my major concern, since Gigabytes are recommended, but I have seen a few Hackintoshes with this mobo.)
RAM - Samsung low profile stuff. It's RAM. It should work.
SSD - OCZ 240GB Agility 3
PSU - SilverStone 450w. It's a power supply. It should work.
GPU - Currently using integrated HD2500, but I'm fairly certain it won't work. I'm definitely willing to spend under $40 on a fanless GPU. No games.
As for <$40 GPU's, how would the following two do?

http://www.microcenter.com/product/..._610_Zone_Edition_1024MB_DDR3_PCIe_Video_Card
The first two I'm worried are outdated. The last one is current-gen, and is a 2 slot, which is a plus for me (can't find my case's expansion slot covers, have no expansion cards for it.)
All help is appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: Found some great info on the motherboard!

Since the motherboard is definitely usable, the CPU is definitely usable, and I'm assuming everything else is, all I need to figure out is graphics. Cheap, silent (or near silent), low power, and cool are my requirements. A passive 210 is at the top of my list, but I still need some info on the compatibility of that.
EDIT 2: Well I'm feeling very lucky.

Looks like a 210 will fit in very nicely. Yay!
