MATX or ITX build

[CoolMaximus]

Hi, im planning on building an matx or itx pc, but im not very good at picking parts. Please show me a $1300 gaming/rendering awesome pc. Thanks

do you want it for lan parties? also do you want a handle on the case?

I'd go with MATX, considering that you will need more RAM since you are doing rendering as well:

I just want a miniature pc.

I just want a miniature pc.

Do you want it as small as can be while not compromising on performance? Or something for "small enough"?
