Portable System Budget Build-ish

[cruxamity]

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Two Weeks

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: HDR Photo Editing, Teh Internet11!1, Gaming ($600 Dollar GPU's need not apply) and MAYBE HD Video Editing

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: N/A Need Everything

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Exclusively Newegg

PARTS PREFERENCES: by brand or type: None

OVERCLOCKING: Yes

SLI OR CROSSFIRE: N/A with Board Choice

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I move every 13 weeks. I want something I can grab and go with a small footprint. I occasionally get placed in some questionable places, so I don't want a $2000 dollar system walking out with someone else. I know a laptop would be more ideal, but I just can't pay laptop prices for laptop tech. Because of the mobility, I want wireless components where available.

Here We go, and thanks for the advice in advance!

Some final comments: I'm not married to AMD/ATI by any means, just what I found after poking around Newegg. If you can come up with a better cpu/mobo/gpu combo, I'm all ears or eyes in this case. Just like anyone else, I want to spend as little as possible while yielding the greatest results.

Oh spirits of Toms Hardware New System Build......Please impart your knowlege and advice

Change the graphic card to this:
Gigabyte HD 5770
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125301

I don't get what you mean by portable (is it for LAN Party use?), but if you were to cram the HD 4870 in too a small case, do it with a 5770. Sucks less power, less heat, better cooler + DirectX 11

And if you think paying 33 $ more is worth it to get an i5 build, then grab this combo.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.270438
(Its i5 750 + Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2)
the motherboard may be cheap but its a GREAT overclocker
Proof: http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3652&p=6

But, if you still insist on getting AMD, no problem grab this combo:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.276858
(X4 955+ OCZ Special Ops Urban Elite (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600)
and this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.277298
[Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit +GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H]

Monitor
For my own build I will be selecting this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005123
Its 21.5" but I don't have any experiences/knowledge whether it will be good or not.

PSU might work well, but others will change that for you. Remember if you want CF/SLI go ahead abd buy a high watt rating model. EDIT: this PSU has only 1 PCIE power plug. 4870 needs 2 of them. 5770 only needs 1. My suggeston: take the 5770 with this PSU.

Thanks for helping me at my 880 $ computer and here. I TOTALLY OVERSHOT the moving part.

TO OP: I do not know any good cases for any purpose... I'm sorry there.

 

[overshocks]

I would recommend a cm 690 ..as it has good cooling and easy mobility..
although it's quite expensive for you in that budget

 

[cruxamity]

Thanks guys! I'll scope the i5 build seeing how a have a week or two before I can build

Since you have time to wait, and if you actually care about sata 3.0, usb 3.0...
Look out for this P55 Motherboard. Pricing=Don't know because not on sale yet
GA-P55A-UD3
It has an A after P55 which means sata 3.0 and usb 3.0 support.
