Portable Gaming build

So, I'm building a "portable" machine for gaming. I've already got an ssd and power supply for it, here are the other parts I've come up with. I realize that the intel cpus would probably give me slightly better performance, but my main rig is a 4770k based system, want to try an AMD for the first time in years.
Total price comes to 742.24 shipped.
Anyway, let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
