i have all the specs for my pc i will list in this post, but i need the case to be portable ( parents divorced have to move around alot) and ive used a laptop since i started but it's just too bad to play on now, thing is i want a good graphics card like the one i picked for my build but i heard with the mini itx you have to use a load of different stuff because of the size, does anyone know a case which lets you use anything but is small? MAX 20x35 cm , any help would be really appreciated trying to keep the case around £40 but a little flexible

That budget, mini-itx might be a bit difficult. This is about the lowest I can really go, staying with an i5, and still getting you a GPU of that performance. The 380 is not much slower than a 280x.

You will probably struggle in games like ARK, thats for sure, but that pc will give you a good gaming experience i think
