Tips and recommendations for mini ITX build?
I've built multiple systems before , but not mini itx. Are there any big differences or tips you guys can tell me before I plan to build one for my friend?
The main use would be: Gaming, school work, and web browsing. Budget is $1000 USD.
As for the case I'm pretty sure we're going with this one:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119286
As for the GPU I'm thinking:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127772
As for the other parts I'm not really sure of. Any recommendations would be awesome!
At a $1000 budget, here is definitely what I would recommend for a <$1000 itx build with the reason behind each part:

Frankly I would recommend this much more than the elite 130 if you plan on transporting your itx build to a friend's house and all that. The elite 130 is too large for that unless you put it in a suitcase. If you won't be carrying it much though I can recommend a build that's a little different using the elite 130
Mechanical keyboard isn't worth it if you have a max $1000 budget including everything. I have a CM Storm quickfire rapid with mx blues but frankly I don't think it's worth using 10% of your budget just for a keyboard when it's much better spent on other components. Maybe further down the line when you save some more money you could go for a mechanical keyboard. Right now there are no good deals for mech keyboards anyway so it's not worth buying.
