Hi guys I am going off to college in about a month and I am in need of a new PC. Other than the typical college duties of a computer I plan on using it to play some games like Arma 3, Day Z, CS:GO, and Minecraft. I have around 1200 to spend on it and am not in need of hard drives or SSD, an optical drive, or any sort of CPU cooler.

Here are the parts I have chosen:
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811345017

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132039

Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116899

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130949

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104382

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088

I have read about the case and from what I have read this is the best ITX case, I have no experience with ITX so if there is a better case I can get please recommend it, and as for the PSU I feel like I could get a cheaper PSU, but I am not sure.

Any input is helpful,
JNev

I have an Antec H20 920 and no I am not in need of any sort of monitor, keyboard, or mouse, etc. Or an OS I am going to turn my current Windows 8 PC into a server and use the OS on this new PC
