Guidance on New PC Build

I need some help on finding a build that can play games from previous generations great (around 100 fps or greater) and this gen games at around 60 fps.

There is also a small constraint to the pc and how I am wanting it to be both compact and portable so i can move it around with ease.

The current build that I had made was with a Ryzen 5 1400 paired with an GTX 1060 6GB but I am not trying to go past $1000 for this build.

This is the current part list That I have made: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/squibly/saved/69NLkL

(Oh and I am wanting a DVD Drive to be able to watch movies as well)

U are using a fairly large case and may be able to have a better cooler than the c7. If you can drop the c7 and use the wraith stealth

Yes, but in general, a 1600 and a 1070 will perform better. Or he could swap out the 1070 for an RX 580 or 1060 6GB, and just save the money.

$15 more than @Squibly's build but does pack a 1070ti which is more like a 1080 (but not quite at stock) to a 1080. There are ways to make it a bit cheaper:

There's the Zotac 1070ti Mini available for $20 less but I dont have the best experience with Zotac in customer service. 

There's the option of going for a 120GB Adata SU800 SSD for $52, but it is half the capacity for 65% the price

There are cheaper mATX mid tower case for around the $35 mark, but their build quality leaves much to be desired.

 

Also the current choice of PSU doesnt use modular cables. I tried finding one, but one that's actually good is a EVGA G3 550w at over $50.
