i5-3470 ITX motherboard - I think a little hard to find.

Casing Maybe can consider Node 304
http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/node-series/node-304-black

The ITX casing support Graphics cards, up to 310mm in length as per website,

I think your GPU length is about 28.86 x 13.44 x4.09 Centimeter

Looks pretty neat.

Are you guys able to estimate the lowest budget possible to build the rig, minus GPU.

Light gaming, photoshop (not heavy kind), standard microsoft work

I'm also using this casing. Specs wise, it can take in a full atx psu but just take note that you need to consider the psu size as the psu cables may "block" your card.

I made this mistake but thankfully zotac came out with their mini series.

ITX works the same way as what you would normally expect of a ATX, mATX sized motherboard.

The only difference between them is the size of the motherboard.
You would still have to find one that has the same socket as the CPU you are reusing for the build.

RVZ . FTZ / ML Silverstone series

Should fit a full length oversized GFX Easily ( Yeah 1080 TI not an issue )
If Asus STRIX with overhanging heatpipe, the heatpipe may touch the casing side which is metal........
