I first just want to say: sorry if I put this in the wrong category.

Okay so my mom and dad are divorced. I want to build a gaming desk top for the first time but there's one problem: Portability. I don't want a gaming laptop though because for what I'd be paying, I'd lose some performance. I also considered the Alienware x51, but again. I'd be losing some performance for what I'd be paying. I have my pc parts listed and they are as follows:
Intel Core i5-4670K Processor
Corsair H80i CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H Motherboard
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Graphics Card
8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 Memory
120GB Samsung 840 Series SSD
1TB Western Digital Caviar Black Hard Drive
750W Corsair TX750M Power Supply
LG Bluray Optical Drive
Windows 7

I just need a case to put them in. I was going to use the Fractal Design Define R4 Case but I don't want all the parts to break inside. So would I need to get a new case or just use that one?

That MSI GTX 770 is the best the cooler runs very silent , only 29dbA under FULL LOAD... compare it to EVGA that gives 40 dbA noise !!!

the power is a must for the short cables set .. for the small case

that mother board is a must !!! it has the bes audio around onboard and took 10/10 in performance test

read about it here :

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4482

and the test here (conclusion) :

http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cpu_mainboard/gigabyte_g1_sniper_m5_review_z87_1150_haswell/1

I hope this helped ... this is a really GOOD CASE ..

and I put 16 G ram .

I am still looking for the slot in Blue ray , this takes slot in , by the way .. would you accept DVD writer or Bray is a must? and do you want Bray writer or just reader combo ?

I would like to thank you for all your help. A dvd is fine. I just said blu-ray because I hear it's better. I don't mind DVD though.

np :)

here is the slot in drive , http://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Interface-Drive-Optical-SOD02B/dp/B004X9PHFC/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1375099948&sr=1-1&keywords=SilverStone+SST-SOD02

and dont forget the short cables

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812162010

and here is the bag

http://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Tek-Carrying-Other-SUGO-PACK/dp/B001NPEBLA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1375100190&sr=1-1&keywords=sugo-pack

if you need help or you want to change items please tell me. also if you want other cases or lower the price.

Edit : you asked for portable :) .. this is portable with 4 slots matx motherboard which has a 100$ sound card value onboard. this is the best I can do for portable system with everything thought of ... good sound , good case , and portability with carrying bag. and without compromise , that tiny wonderfull case can take 4x2.5 and 2x3.g harddisks.
