I already have the OS, keyboard and 3.5 hard drive. Are these parts compatible so far? I am trying to build a gaming pc that I can take with me when i travel. I would like to have a smaller case such as the cooler elite 130 but it does not have a motherboard i can use with the AMD FX 6300.

There are no good m-ATX motherboards you can use with an FX 6300 . All the m-ATX AM3+ motherboards use older 760G chipsets .

I would probably build using an FM2+ build and a 4 core Athlon 760K . Game performance will be limited by the graphics and not the processor so something like this

will have a longer life and a potential upgrade path .
Much better quality psu . The antec would be marginal for an FX build
