So will be building a new pc soon and i want a small and portable case.I also want something that will be somewhat quiet..
The build is:
-Amd Ryzen 5 1600;
-GTX 950 2gb;
-CORSAIR VENGEANCE 16 bg ddr4;
-Kingston 240gb ssd;
-1 TB hard drive.
I'm thinking about bitfenix prodigy or Fractal Design Node 304.

Well in that case, the Prodigy is an excellent cheap choice (and it looks pretty slick).
Overall, very good build, and you should have no problems.
For the Motherboard, get whatevers cheapest (provided your RAM isnt 4x4gb or youre not planning to upgrade anytime soon)
Good luck!

If you want something small and portable, you'll probably need a mATX motherboard and case.

Your PC shouldnt consume over 350w when fully overclocked under full load, but there arent a lot of high quality PSU which are 450w-550w. EVGA, Seasonic and (high end) Corsair PSU are the best, pick maybe pick up a GQ 600 for future upgrades?

If you must have it small and portable I'd reccommend this cheapish CM case (which I happen to think looks very nice)

But, I'd heavily encourage you to go with ATX If its not that big of a deal

As for Motherboard, you need an AM4 socket motherboard, so basically
-If you are going for extreme gaming with SLI/Crossfire with Overclocking for a premium price, get an X370 board
-If you are more price conscious and arent going to go SLI but would still like the Overclocking support and even Crossfire support, Get a B350

I bought an MSI B350 Mortar, and Im extremely happy with it, but if you want to spend less money, I reccommend the ASUS Prime , or basically anything with 4 DIMM slots (just in case). Look around and compare reviews, but overall, it shouldnt matter that much. Good luck and Happy building :)

I won't be doing a lot of gaming.Mostly indie games and a few tripleA games(nothing more demanding than dark souls+ i don't really care about the graphics).
I will use the computer for digital drawing,photoshop and some video editing.I will be a student this year,so i need something compact.I don't like laptops ,so i think that a small pc + a chromebook would be a better option for me.
