CM cant be considered portable as it is big and heavy at almost 10KG on it's own.
Of course the question is what you want to put inside that case as there are even smaller choices.

i7 6700k
msi gtx 1080 gaming
cooler master hyper 212 led
16gb ripjaws 3000mhz ram
ASRock Z170M Extreme4 or GIGABYTE GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5 (haven't decided yet)
fsp hyper m 600w
The mastercase 3 would be good because it has handles which is a huge advantage, the nzxt manta looks good and i heard great things about it, good materials, etc.

the PORTABLE build should be small and lightweight. For the high end components you've selected, the case should have excellent airflow.
So IMHO, it should be something like this:
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($329.88 @ OutletPC)
CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer 240 74.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($85.00 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: Asus Z170I PRO GAMING Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard ($159.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($93.99 @ Jet)
Storage: Crucial MX300 1.1TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($248.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 8GB G1 Gaming Video Card ($597.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Case: Fractal Design Define Nano S Mini ITX Desktop Case ($54.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair RMx 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($89.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $1660.82
well, actually the cpu cooleer should be https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xlc-predator-240
and preferably expanded to GPU as well.

When i said don't look at the prices i meant only for the case, these parts are much more expensive than the ones i picked, i can't afford those.
I have the ssd, gtx 1080, and the ram already, got it as a presents.
talking about the airflow, for me the mastercase 3 seems the best choice, here's why:
it has handles, so its much easier to carry, it has the most space for the case fans.
about the water cooling, im not sure if i can afford that, and don't have enough knowledge to know how to install/which parts do i need for it.
okay, i'll have help with installing so i'll be able to do that but i don't even know what parts do i need for that.

it was a suggestion.
if you are budget limited, then go with your list - GB MBwould be much better choice.
I'm not sure about the PSU quality as i found no review that i can trust.
PSU is one of the parts that totally worth investment and have to be good quality.
