Small, functional, cheap?

[Aronboli]

I'm making a new rig to play some upcoming games (Fallout 4, Just Cause 3) and I'm not looking to spend much money (no more than $700 on the build itself(+/- $50). However, I might also be transferring to a university and I would like to bring my pc with me. I don't think I want to do this even with a Mid Tower, so I'm wondering if there's anything out there that would be decent for a build like this, considering my needs?

 

Some questions:

1. In what ways is an ITX board worse than an ATX?

2. What's a good small case that gives the best air cooling for how small it is?

 

I appreciate the help!

an itx board is worse than an ATX board because it is cheaper, and it is smaller than an ATX board so it will have less PCIe slots and less USB headers and sata headers

I have the same Graphics Card, and I've had some problems with the driver crashing but otherwise it's good. But it is pretty big, may want to check if it fits before getting it
