I am looking for some opinions on a slim build that I can take to work as I stay in hotels/motels a lot. Should be able to run the newest MMO's like EQ Landmark or ESO. I prefer performance over graphics so having every thing set on Ultra isn't a must and I am not interested in overclocking.

My current items reviewed are:

Case - Silverstone RVZ01 or smaller if possible (price - whatever works this is where I am stuck)
CPU - i7-4770
GPU - GTX 660 (prefer a GTX 760 if possible) (or any card between $200 - $300)
MB - mini-itx with 800.1.1 ac wifi. (any card no more then $250 if possible)
PSU - unknown (also where I am stuck) Really interested in modular and possibly fanless for cleaner builds and lower heat.
RAM - Reliable brand name 8 - 16GB

Prices are in Canadian before taxes (prefer to not go over $1500 cdn. total if possible)

You need minimum 500W for Gtx 760.

For 660 you'd be fine with that. However, you should go for the 760 which in the long run would help you from upgrades continuously.

the 760 can max out most games anyways.

I looked at some more cases and nothing fits an ATX PSU without some mods. I see someone fit a 170mm fanless ATX PSU into the RVZ01 but worried about the internal temperature after that. So maybe I will get the parts and buy a cheaper case to put them in and see if I can upgrade the case later on. Any stylish semi compact cases that you know of or would you recommend the one you priced out first over any others?
