Best mini case gaming build under 1500 dollars

[Thirall]

My friend is going to buy a bew gaming computer. His budget is around 1500 dollars. Get a 970 and a i7-6600k in there ey! Nah, it is not that easy. His parents are divorced so it would be convinient if the case was as small (and light) it could be, while being able to run all games at ultra settings 1080p 60fps (or at least close). And please do add a monitor (don't worry about this affecting the prize, I am wanting 1500 dollars for the main computer).
He also needs windiws 10, we live in Norway (although that doesn't really matter).

Hopefully you guys that are so awesome could fit all this power in a BitFenix Prodigy or a Fractal Node 304. Thanks in advance!

I already said I wouldn't get a GTX980 for 60hz 1080p gaming. There is no way it's worth the extra cost. I still think the cpu cooler is unnecessary but if you want one, I would get one like the Cooler Master TX3 that can keep air flowing front to back.

So I should just drop the whole cpu cooler? Let's say he plays Gta pn the highest settings he can getting 60fps minimum. Do you think he won't be needing a cpu cooler? And maybe small editing of videos, cause I make videos and will later get his footage.

The stock cooler is sufficient for the i5 6600. It may get a little loud at times though. An after marker cooler certainly doesn't hurt. It's just not completely necessary. That's all.

Okey thanks, going to go for the tx3 then:
