Cheap Mini-ITX build

[crytech]

Hello everyone! I want to build a new PC for "showing" purposes, and for that I need it to be a Mini-ITX form factor. Can you guys suggest a good build for around $400 (less is better)?

1. Mini-ITX
2. can play most MOBA game at 1080p all max
3. overclock or not doesn't matter
4. Intel or AMD CPU, NVIDIA or AMD GPU doesn't matter, I want most out of my money
5. I don't need case, monitor, and other peripherals
6. no hard drive (ssd only)
7. I'm fine with 4GB of RAM I can add more later
8. prefer Asus and Corsair as major components, since it's easier for me to claim the warranty (their store is near my house lol)

That's all, thank you

ITX and low budgets don't mix well, I'd know because I've build 3 ITX systems ranging from $600-$1200 and it felt tough when making part choices and seeing the prices you pay to get a smaller part. That said these are the best parts I could find within your budget, but since you don't mention a case I used a standard length GPU and PSU. Not sure if this will help you at all but here it is. My only suggestion is to save up a bit more and shoot for a bigger budget.

Thanks for the reply, btw do you think using APU is good enough for my purpose? If yes, how's the build?

with case the total cost is:$484.99

UPDATE: These prices where set in AUD so the price in USD would be (with case) $352.50
(without) $305.25 so i guess this is a super budget itx build....

Remove the case from this build, and that will make it under $400
I included Corsair parts.

Note: The Athlon 860K is NOT an APU, it is considered a CPU. The Athlon 860K is based on the A10-7850k with the iGPU section disabled. So it needs a discrete video card to function.
