I want to build an overclockable computer that can make games look gorgeous all the while maintaining a small good looking form factor.

Price point: 1500$ AUD (Including a monitor)

Parts i've found that might fin in nicely:

Cpu: i5 4670k

Cpu cooler: Hyper 212 EVO

Graphics card: possibly an r9 280x or maybe an r9 290 when the custom coolers come out

I'd like to use either a Mini itx or Micro-ATX motherboard

I'm constantly moving about so i'd like a portable case.

I hope to play games such as: Battlefield 4 and all that graphically intensive good stuff.

Extra points if the build budget includes a network adapter.

I'm hoping to order this build to australia by january.

P.S I'd like to order everything from the same site.

What a gorgeous looking build but i have some problems.

1: i don't like that case... it's just... not the right one for me.

2 : I have a spare copy windows 7 lying around.

3: Will that PSU even cover an overclocked system like this?

4: For a monitor i'm leaning towards an ASUS VX238H 23in Widescreen LED Monitor

5: I suppose an ssd won't fit in my price point

Everything else is looking damn fine.

1: i don't like that case... it's just... not the right one for me. Personal preference i was just going by budget

2 : I have a spare copy windows 7 lying around. You needed to put that in your first post

3: Will that PSU even cover an overclocked system like this?Yes, 600w is enough for a single gpu and overclocking i currently run a i5 3570k and a amd 7950 on a xfx 550 watt and both the card and cpu are overclocked

4: For a monitor i'm leaning towards an ASUS VX238H 23in Widescreen LED Monitor. Personal preference i just recommended the ben q because that is what i have

5: I suppose an ssd won't fit in my price point i will do some adjustments and let you know.
