I plan on making a Mini ITX Build that I can plug into my TV and play some games with a controller or wireless keyboard and mouse. Anywho, I would like to play SOME high end games (Crysis 3, Arma 2, Starcraft 2, Metro 2033, etc.). I also would like to know if a CPU fan could fit in this case. I'm also not buying everything from Newegg, but I found the parts there. If there is any improvements please let me know
My build is:

CASE: Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119261

MOBO: ASRock FM2A85X-ITX FM2 AMD A85X (Hudson D4) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157357

CPU: AMD A10-5800K Trinity 3.8GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113280

GPU: ASUS EAH6670/DIS/1GD5 Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121442

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428

HDD: Western Digital WD Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB 7200 RPM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136769

DVD Drive: LG 24X DVD Burner http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136259

Thank you for your time!
 
You need a better card and since you're going to use a discrete one, ditch the amd cpu and get the i3-3220.
CPU : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=75429&promoid=1302
MOBO : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157310&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
RAM : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=74758&promoid=1321
HDD: http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=63468&promoid=1302
PSU : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=59615&promoid=1257
CARD : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131473

The case and optical drive remains the same, and it fits in 600$, if you can afford a bit more get this : http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=PC-787_2V3&c=CJ
Also you don't need to worry, the CM elite 120 advanced fits any of those cards, since it supports up to 13.5" cards.
 
Here's something that would give better gaming performance in a smaller case:

Intel Core i3-3220
8GB Corsair XMS3 1600Mhz 1.5v C9
ASRock B75M-ITX
Sapphire HD 7750 1GB Low Profile
Samsung 840 120GB or 500GB 2.5'' Hard Drive
Antec ISK 300-150 with 150W PSU
Lite ON Slim DVD Burner

Total is around $590-600 with the SSD or a bit less with the hard drive. That would give better gaming performance and be a lot smaller.

What if I was to change the form factor to micro-atx or mid tower? Because I saw that the motherboards and other equipment are much cheaper for that. And I'm thinking about going with an fx processor if I'm going to do this. I like the 7850 and I might get that...
