Help with Build?

[Fermin Santiago III]

I would like a gaming computer that will be able to stream and play games at 1080p. My budget is around $1,100 for everything minus the keyboard, mouse, and speakers. I would the build to have a case that has a handle so I can move it around easier since I am a college student and take it to school. Would love to have an SSD for just the OS and maybe a game or two. Thanks for all the help!

I just need a parts list you don't have to go and find me prices. Thanks!

Overshot your budget by just a tad. Although you can change the case to the Cooler Master Storm Scout as well for some savings.

In order to save some money, went with the Ivy Bridge I5 and Motherboard. Cooler included for overclocking, and neat case that fits your portable requirement. Plenty of power in the Psu, 8gb's of 1866mhz ram as well. Got ya a nice, cheaper SSD that still delivers good performance as well as the requisite storage drive. The 760 is a great video card for the price.

Wow, yeah...totally missed that one. That's easy, you just drop down a tad in performance and forgo the ability to overclock. Still a very powerful gaming setup:
