Mini-Itx fractal design Node 202 build help

So I'm looking for a mini itx build using the fractal design node 202, I'm building this for university so it needs to be portable, I have a budget of about 2000-2500$

I'll be using it for video production, photo editing and gaming

Please use pcpartpicker.com, thanks :)

I tried with x99 platform, but no low profile cpu coolers for x99. So skylake it is.

Keep in mind that node 202 is not available on pcparticker, so enter the price manually

Thanks a lot for this build!

I have a question, don't you think that's 600w is a bit on the low side for a 980 Ti?

In PcPartPicker, the most powerful PSU is the 600w one, you might need to go out to find some PSU that are SFX sized but are more powerful. If not, I think you need to change your case to a bigger one, which in this case I would recommend the BitFenix Phenom M which looks great with it's box look and the brushed aluminum.

Hmm, Im trying to go as small but be a power house of a PC because I want to take it to my University dorm room, and be as durable because my roommates are crazy 

 

also im not a big fan of brushed aluminum because of how dirty it can get

It will be fine, since nvidia 900 series are not that power hungry.
