So i don't have much to work with and i want to build a lan rig that i want to be able to move around without carrying my main rig.

I already have an i3 and an mitx mobo. I have ram and storage. I want to get the Elite 110 and then an evga psu.

I was wondering how would the r7 370 stack up with my i3 for performance.

I really only play cs:go with the occasional other games. I'm pretty sure that gta 5 won't be a pleasant experience but I don't know.

What do you guys think?

The 370 would run well with your i3, maxing out games like CS:GO. As far as GTA V goes, it would probably run fine but you might want to turn the settings down a little and lock it at 30 FPS to reduce stuttering, since the i3 would have a little trouble maintaining 60 FPS at times.

Good to know that GTA V could be playable. Thanks!

Most games will run fine. GTA V, Crysis 3, and BF4 might have some issues though. I'd look for a cheap 270 though, It's more powerful.

I would maybe suggest getting a good base started, and throwing your main gpu in it when you are gonna use it. Then, when you upgrade your desktop, you can use your old card on the lan rig 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

Don't think it fits into the Elite 110

I posted the wrong link that's a 260x.  The 110 fits cards up to 210mm.

Nah, thanks for the suggestion though. I want it to be as small as possible and it would be impossible for my current gpu.
