Hello I've been looking to buy a pc myself for a while and now ive finally found an offer that seems good to me! The setup is show here https://gyazo.com/a0dd43c90cd2c3abb847e2a58cc28635 (I buy it as a package deal to avoid unforseen incompatibilitie.)
As I still live at home with seperated parents this rig must be able to be transported in a car every 2 weeks. Will that bring up any issues? 
Also, is this even a good build? (im looking for a good build that can get me top notch fps in a game like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, but what I'm also looking for is something that will run beautiful games too. (which to me is something like gta 5). I am very limited by budget and this has been the best ive been able to come up with (price 8100 danish crowns; price for all parts before discount 9600Danish Crowns)

Thank you! :-)

might require you to remove the gpu prior to transportation in case it breaks mid-way

1) bad psu, get a better one like the EVGA GS 550W or even better, G2 550W

2) for pure gaming, i5 6600k will do, the i7 is a waste

3) get 2x8gb of ram or 1x8gb, your motherboard only has two dimm slots so you dont wanna limit yourself to 8gb, i recommend 2x8gb if possible

4) i'd replace the gtx 970 with an r9 390 for better gaming performance at almost the same price, get the msi model for themed build

5) get a better SSD, i recommend samsung 850 evo 250gb

6) drop the dvd red/writer if you dont need it

7) get a better cpu cooler if you're going to overclock, dont use that stock cooler

8) get a better fan splitter/fan hub, that akasa thing will make your case run like a friggin wind tunnel

9) mITX build in an ATX case, will look weird

 

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

That's not a very limited budget, you could be getting like just a low end GPU with an 880K or i3 for CS:GO with a better display, probably 1080p 144hz free-sync if you don't already have a high end display

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

I already have a great keyboard, monitor, mouse and mousepad. Right now its just connected to my laptop. This results in lack of fps, input lag and 120hz cap in my laptop

120hz cap on your laptop? Like from HDMI? or just like performance on your 120hz display?

Might want to go ITX as well, but really like a 6500 CPU will be fine, and like for 1080p 60hz at least a 380 is a pretty solid GPU

You could also get a case like the HAF XB which is made to be portable

Connecting my displayport to my laptop only grants me at 120hz option though connecting to a desktop offers me the 144 that the monitor is designed for.

I am not looking for 60 hz. I am looking for lots of frames and streaming potential. 

 

Also I should mention that I play Counter Strike at a competetive level, so I need the edge of the extra fps

Then the 6700 would be more than enough for all of that, and the 390 is still going to give you more performance, I don't think the extra .5ghz at best you get from OCing the 6700K will make it worth it, your average fps is easily going to soar past 200fps
