new build! current idea, need suggestions (mitx?)

[Kyuubixchidori]

Hey everyone!

so selling my pc for 1000. basically could rebuild it for 625$.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PhJ2f7

note for that build, I have access to microcenter, so the cpu price is the mobo+cpu.

 

I love that case and how it looks, but Im going to college. So because of size constraints, I want a hyper small PC If possible.

 

I want the smallest possible PC, while being reasonably quiet. any suggestions?

 

notes:

would like room for my pci wifi card if possible, not necessary

would like to use I5

dont mind buying GPU used, plan right now on 7950/7970 for 100$

CHEAP is king, but would not like to go over 650, 700 absolute max.

Already have a SSD and a hard drive

Have access to microcenter. Would perfer to buy everything or almost everything there, as a return to a store is much easier then online

Already have a 500 watt power supply. if Im going Mitx, I can only use one card, so I can re use that. dont figure that into price if Mitx build.

This is what I would probably build myself with that price and what you already have (upgrade to a i5 4690k too)

This one however is done with future proof in mind, I.E the ability to go Crossfire in the future without changing any part. If you want mITX, then I suggest something like this
