So I am out of the big pc game. I am no longer a fan of flashy large cases. That boat has pasted.

Here is what I am looking for.

Case- Mini ATX/ITX that can hold a decent sized card. Must not be flashy but need to be functional.
Ram- I'm going to assume 8 gb here don't know what speed.
Motherboard- Mini ATX/ITX something that has built in wifi.
Cpu-I don't know If I want to go Intel or Amd with this build yet.
Gpu-Something that can play most games on medium settings. I don't really play new games so this should not be a issue. Would like to have something in the $125-$200 range.
Psu-Depends on the case need to power this system don't plan to upgrade it once I make it.
Hard Drive- I have this covered.

Please let me know what might work. If i cannot build this for as cheap as I can buy a Ibuypower Revolt.
