Hi all,
I'm building a pc for the first time and would like to use it for moderate gaming (skyrim maxed out + mods for example) and also for AutoCAD/inversion processing. I don't want something massive so I'm open to a mini-itx format, but I don't really know what I miss out on features with it so MOBO advice definitiely appreciated. Had my eye on this cooler master as an example of what would be an ideal case size/form, but could do a mid-tower or desktop if necessary:

I'd love an i5 4690k to give me some headroom for few years, but I'm not sure how justified I am if perhaps a G3258 would do the job at a fraction of the cost.
Ultimately I don't want to fall into an upward spending spiral above taking me too far above $700. I live close to a MC and have already picked up a PC R9 285 for ~$150.
Thoughts appreciated
