Gaming Mini itx build request

[stevex9]

Hi,

I'm planning to build a mini itx pc since I tend to travel every year or so to different countries so I need something that would be portable without being as expensive as a good gaming laptop (970m or 980m).

Overall I'm looking for a mini itx build that would accommodate parts such as a mini gtx970, an i5 , 16gb of ram and a 128-256gb SSD (I currently have a 1tb HD that would be put in the system). I can be flexible with the parts as long as it stays within the budget.


Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: July

Budget Range: 800-900 after shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: Everything but HD (I have an HD, just need a SSD for the OS)

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: any works

Location: Ohio-US

Parts Preferences: Intel

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1080p

Additional Comments:

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Sold my previous gaming PC since I couldn't ship it to my current location, need something I could transport easily through airports.
