You can't get an AMD mATX or mini-ITX build because there are no 970 or 990FX chipset motherboards in that size. Technically, you could do it with a lower quality motherboard but it's not advised because the 970 and 990FX chipsets are the "real" FX motherboards.

CTurbo's build is good, but I would recommend changing the psu to this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb9
The XFX psu is better quality and you always want a good quality psu.
