no offense, but did u even read the des? i said i needed it to be portable, also my friend has an alienware, and he is always getting attention for it, so i want a build where people will stare at it for hours and still be amazed that a 13 year old built it :)

 

You can't spare the extra $50? It'd be an amazing performance increase 

possibly, but that means a couple of more shifts at chick fil a :P

i was giving you feed back on your idea, no where in the title did you state that it needed to be portable

If you want an Itx build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/32nmA Intel is more expensive but has ITX boards

ATX would be better with a budget because of the fact that AMD would be my choice for a purely gaming build 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/32nJv this build is color coded and would be super sexy :) 

i5 4670k| Asrock H81M-ITX| EVGA Nex 650g| WD Black 500Gb| H100 with SP120s| ASUS Matrix 7970 Platinum (just sold)| Patriot Venom 1600Mhz 8Gb| Bitfenix Prodigy. Build log in progress

I wouldn't say a pc is portable, if you need portability i'd go for a laptop, if you don't then build a pc and if you want to impress make sure to work hard on cable manegment and colour code it.

Main PC:

ASUS F1A55-M LX, AMD A6-3500, (2x2)gb Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 1600mhz, Seagate Barracuda 500gb 7200rpm, 
 Corsair CX430M, Cooler Master Elite 343, Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit

Netbook:

Lenovo Ideapad S10-2, Intel Atom N280, (1x1)gb DDR2 667mhz, WD Scorpio Blue 250gb 5400rpm, Zorin OS 9 Lite
