Hey guys need some help planning parts for a friend's build. Thanks!

 

 

1. Budget & Location
The budget is $800 USD.
2. Aim
The aim for this build is to have PC that is small and portable that will outperform any consoles. Mitx is preferred but matx will also work. Additionally would prefer have an intel/nvidia setup. An amd graphics card might be ok. 

3. Monitors
Have 1080p monitor.

4. Peripherals
Need keyboard and mouse. This can make the budget go bit over $800.

5. Why are you upgrading?
This will be his first built PC.

Why no like AMD? Dude different processors/GPU's work better in different cases...

An AMD processor might be better then Intel/Nvidia is some case
