Need help building a portable gaming pc.

[mariogamer9]

I want to build a cheap portable gaming pc (mainly because my laptop is crap) but I am having trouble finding small cases for a low cost. Im planning to build a computer that can play csgo at 60fps and maybe bf4 at low to medium at 720p.
Can anybody give me any suggestions?

How small does it need to be? The Rosewill Neutron is not exactly a small case (almost as large as a micro-ATX minitower), but you can build an impressive system in it.

Three words that don't go well together: Cheap, portable, gaming PC.
Fortunately at least your gaming goals are realistic, unlike others that want the ultra portable $400 pc that can play every game at max on 1080p.

How small and what kind of budget?

By small I mean like something that I could put in a backpack (That one may be impossible). Or something that is kind of like this https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/LandingPages/FangBattleBox/. A sort of suit case like thing.

One significant problem with 'portable' and 'desktop parts' is the weight.
Add a monitor and all the cables, etc, to that Cyberpower thing, and you're north of 30 lbs. vs 6 lbs for a laptop.

How 'portable' do you want this to be?

If you are wanting to take the monitor with you...then get a gaming laptop.

Well, the size you are looking for does not come awfully cheap, but not terrible either.

Here are some options

Azza CSAZ 105 (this one is the suitcase type case you linked) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811517035&cm_re=Azza_csaz-_-11-517-035-_-Product

Azza CSAZ 103 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811517029&cm_re=Azza_csaz-_-11-517-029-_-Product

Silverstone Raven rvz01 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163252&cm_re=silverstone_raven_rvz01-_-11-163-252-_-Product

The problem with trying to find a case this size is most of them are complete pre built systems, or they are barebones systems that come bundled with a bunch of components which decreases customization of your build and upgradability, and increases price.

I go on a trip to maine maybe 4-5 times a year and I stay for 2-3 weeks and i am tired of playing on my stupidly bad laptop while i am there, (playing csgo on my laptop lowest settings 640x480 resolution= 30-50 fps) so not something that i carry around every day just something that dosent look stupid, because bringing my mid tower desktop to my grandparents house is not going to look cool.

The AZZA CSAZ-105 looks good, thanks for the help!
