    Budget mini ITX build

    Hey guys, looking for some tips on a small project. I got a friend from work into WoW and he really seems to be enjoying himself, but hes using a low end laptop and is looking to getting something else. We decided it'd be cheaper to build one and use some of my old parts so I'm trying to get the best bang for his buck.

    Budget is around 450-500$.
    Only need it for WoW, League of Legends on medium/high settings at 1080p.
    I have a few parts I can reuse. (520w seasonic psu, 128gig SSD, 8 gigs ram)
    No need for an OS or peripherals.

    Now the last request he has is where my issue lies. He wants a Mini ITX case, and a board with wireless capabilities.
    Best thing I could come up with is

    Any better ideas or suggestions?

    If it's primarily for those games, this would give you a similar bang(when overclocked) for alot less buck.

    If you must insist on using a non-sanctioned sitting apparatus, please consider the tensile strength
    of the materials present in the object in question in comparison to your own mass volumetric density.

    In other words, stop breaking shit with your fat ass.

    A little different setup. R9 270x for double performance of a 750ti and a storage drive, since 128ssd will be ok for those 2 games and os but no room for anything else.
