Hey guys!

I need some advice on my first build that I plan on taking to college with me. That being said, I'd like to be able to take it home with me on the train, which has some size limitations. This brings me to the question. Would i be able to make a PC that I can play Battlefield 4, Far Cry 4 and Bioshock Infinite on high settings at 1080p with a small mini-ITX board for under 600 dollars not including a case or Windows?

Thanks!
