Help with a Mini Lan Party Sexy Beast Build?:)

Distinguished
I'am kind of new to small form factor options out there, but my LAN Party Gang are all moving to Mini ITX based builds, and I of course want to show them up, and see how much power I could squeeze out of a small form factor pc.

Games we will be playing: Crysis, Far Cry, CODUO-COD4, Diablo 2 LOD, Halo 1, and we sometimes get into Planetside 2, and more recent titles like BF4. (Which is why we are all moving on from our ancient, Pentium 4 oc'd beasts )

I Want a little Micro box to carry around and show off, but can still play all those games listed above at decent (medium-ultra) settings smoothly (Recent games being able to run at least 30-40FPS). I do not care too much about it being upgradeable and future proofed, just need it for these older, and current games on market.

This is a LAN Party Build, built to show off and look pretty!

Budget is about 400-600 USD$

I have all peripherals, OS, and 24'' 1080p monitor.

I've fell in love with Antec PSUs the 1 I have now is coming up on 13yrs old, and Its still running Strong, so I of course want a new Antec psu. I prefer Intel, but am happy with AMD too.

-Thanks!

OK, firstly, i'd recommend you build with micro-ATX rather than mini-ITX - it's just better for gaming and has more options slots and expandability.

As for a case, look at the DeepCool Steam Castle, or the Bitfenix Prodigy.

If neither of those float your boat (or your LAN party), then both Newegg and PCPartpicker will display cases with images in a scrollable list.
