Is this ok? I don't want to be maxing out games but playing them with good graphics and playable framerates. I would like to play games such as ArmA 3, Battlefield 4 and GTA V.

Hey look it even costs less.

You won't be maxing out games like GTA 5 and Battlefield 4 but you should be able to run at medium / high settiings at 1080p.

You could go for an i3-4/6xxx and get an gtx 950 and you will get better performance

Seems pretty good, i dont think you need a cpu cooler as you wont be overclocking

I know you want ITX but you're gonna have a tighter budget if you do, I say go Micro ATX and get something like this- http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/6PQFVn
The GTX 950 stomps on the 750ti.

I do not recommend a non-modular power supply in an ITX build. Not saying you can't, I just don't recommend it.

If you can spend just a little bit more, I managed to squeeze an R9 380 4GB and SSD in there. Should be great for gaming.

Memory: gaming is not bandwidth limited and 1 stick leaves room for expansion.

Motherboard: you don't have a K series CPU so an h97 is fine.

GPU: significantly better performance for similar cost.

PSU: better performing, and modular which is a godsend in an ITX case. You don't need 500 watts for this build.

Jesus christ so many options. Thank you very much. Yeah it was meant to say budget. Also I would like to go the Nvidia and Intel route, simply because I've heard ArmA 3 runs slightly better on it. I know its quite centred around 1 game which isn't really good. Other than that, I have no problems with AMD. But should I spend a bit more on a Z97 since I'm going to start PC gaming and in the future I might want to get a better CPU that can be overclocked? Or is that pointless?
