Good Build for playing Light graphics intensive games? 1080p CS:GO, Dota 2, Portal Etc.

[Andy0432]

So I'm building a PC for my brother and he only plays games such as CS:GO, Dota 2, Portal which aren't really graphics intensive, but he wants to play CS GO above 144fps as he is planning on getting a 144hz screen.

Some things that are needed

- Preferably small form factor, he wants to sit it on his desk
- Preferably Intel for future upgrades and low tdp & heat output
- Between 600-800 bucks

Thanks!

He plays all his games in 1080p BTW!!

Thanks again in advance

Sounds like he wants a steam machine, check out Alienware and other vendors

He doesn't want one though :L

I was able to comprise you this $775 build that should do the job just fine, just thought I would do this while I wait for someone to help me back on my thread here you go
