Hey guys I need to build a portable gaming desktop so I want to use mini ITX I think what I picked out should work I already have a Sapphire 7850 2gb card that I am going to use but I need to know if what i have picked out will work together and if i should change anything and if any thing is overkill and i could save money or need to change something to improve performance however I would like to stay in the price range for parts that I am already at these are the links to all of the parts i have picked out. Thanks everyone for your help. :)

You picked an A10k but have a 7850, 

 

Use Pcpartpicker.com instead to find your parts. Everything else is good, just get an Athlon chip instead of an APU. Spend a little more money on a Hyper 212 or something. The 212 paste that it comes with is plenty good, so you won't be needing to buy a tube of Thermal paste. 

 

You don't need an installation kit either. Your motherboard should come with Sata cables, just buy a hard drive alone.

to improve performance, I would install some RAM

 

I don't know why, but just reading this part of the post made me laugh pretty hard. xD

 

But yeah, he's right, you forgot to pick out some RAM. Just get 8 GB 1600 MHz RAM at the cheapest price you can.

i think this is t he guy i told to come here, it should be said that the game he wants to play is Everquest Next Landmark and Everquest Next, which needs a fair whack of CPU grunt , i think the case definitly should be changed to something cheaper and easier to work with so he can get a better CPU

is there a way to get a faster CPU on that  even if you have to move to mATX and use like a FX6300

Thanks Guys yeah I emailed the newegg cart to myself but the ram i picked was out of stock so it didnt show up in the email so i forgot about it I did want the case because the handle is so convenient as i will be moving it often as for the cpu I head no idea it was an apu so thanks for letting me know about that. As for what I am using it for I will mostly be using it to play the latest games such as BF4, Titan fall ect. and I was also wondering if this would stay at reasonable temps considering how tightly packed in everthing would be with only one case fan

No i am kidding, i am here to help. You really dont need 16 gb, but if you want, you can just buy cheaper 16gb 2x8 that is equally good. If you have only 1 itake fan and 1 exhaust fan, the ram will be fine.

I know it might sound stupid but will price for the build above that Eroda put together be the same when shipped to Canada Ontario. (where I live)

No. His build isn't applicable since it's from all US sites. A build in Canada will almost certainly use different parts.

Mobo has 15$ discount combo, so i said, why not, its 107$, pretty good deal then.

There is also elite 130, it only costs cuple bucks more... more airflow and more appealing. IDK. And also id add exhaust fan, or intake if its possible. Good for temps. Some cheap silent fans.

The cpu has same turbo as non S version, but is cheaper, so i added it.

You can add drive and case fans if you want. I can check for em if you want.

these lists should be taken as a what is recomended to purchase not a buy now button, once you know kinda what you are looking for its possible to find better deals or make slight alterations for a very similar system

Unfortunately I'm pretty deadset on the case just because i really like it and its convience but here is a new list ive come up with for the build.(I do also Have an optical drive just for got to metion that aswell) and thank you for all of your help guys I do really appreciate it. another question i have is if this system will stay at a reasonable temp when gaming. Thanks :)
