Mini ITX Light Gaming Build

[ddswh1pk0s]

Hey guys I am planning a new build I am not sure when I'm going to build it yet.
 

My goal for the build is to have a really small form factor portable PC which I can take anywhere with me. The only games it needs to run are CS:GO, Portal 2, or GTA San Andreas

 

I am not sure on budget I am asking for build lists to get an idea of the costs. It doesn't need a monitor or peripherals.

 

Thanks in advance

How small is small? R9 Nano small or like a case that can barely fit a 980Ti?

CoolerMaster Elite 110 or Corsair 250D? Something like that,

Something around the size of a CM Elite 110, here is a part list I made. Is this good? Please make sure you use AUD prices when making one.

500 ish dollars, A10 7870k with 2400mhz ram and a 120xl cooler, feel free to drop the cooler and save some money if the budget is lower, I had the build lying around.

What's the budget?

[DaltonM]

Get a case with a PSU already in it, perhaps try to look for a barebones or premade pc for cheap and slap a 750 ti in it.

 

You're not asking to run very demanding games, but I would suggest at least 8gb of ram, 4gb is just a headache to use.

Here's a build I made for you. The case is really up to you, you can spend up to $100 on it. I went with a smaller HDD, since the games you listed aren't large, and this will be your 'lan box'.

You can always swap the games on the HDD. You might want dual channel ram, that's up to you, but with 1 stick you can upgrade later. 

This MOBO, cooler, and CPU can overclock so you're good to go with that, but keep the PSU at 400w+. 

A Smaller case will take an SFX PSU, so maybe if you go that route, get PSU + case combo. 

The GPU i selected is the very same I use and this card IS TINY. It's a single slot card that be used at half height!
