Smaller Is Better?

So today after not being able to settle upon on thing for HOURS I finally found this perfect case. It is a Portal (Black) Mini-ITX case. Now I have some stuff I am already kinda planning on using. I would like to now if there is any possible way to reduce price but keep the performance around the same. I am thinking heavily about a red led lighting inside (since there is a little window) and when I open it, hopefully, it will look sick. Needless to say I want some opinions. Please be detailed and specific to a point to where I at least can get a sense of what you are talking about as I am new to all of this.

I am planning on mainly gaming with possible video recording and editing mixed in and I want to keep the price what it is now or cheaper.

600p 512GB has a mediocre performance compared to other good SATA SSDs
Mobo a bit overkill, don't expect excellent OC capabilities on an ITX board, just go for a cheaper Z270 ITX mobo
Other parts are fine
