This is the case I am thinking about getting. A buddy of mine said to get mATX for easy transport and cleaning. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352011

I have experience with mATX motherboards and "mini cases".

Personally i prefer full ATX and mid or full case for gaming and using demanding programs because of the room for bigger GPU cards, coolers, Dual GPU in SLI/Crossfire ability, and also for better air-flow and heat distribution.

Mini PCs are very limiting but easy to transport.
Mid and full case PCs are heavy, but if you use a car for any distance more than a block away, you will be fine.

If you want to play games in the closer to the maximum setting you can go, then you will have to deal with lots of heat, and you will need some major cooling.
Also most GPUs take lots of space.

I went with an ATX build because you save more money versus a micro ATX build. That, and Spartan468 made some good points about the advantages of ATX versus Micro ATX.

Those NewEgg promo codes expire soon, so jump on those first.

I left plenty of money so you can pick and choose the following on your own:

- Keyboard, mouse, and mousepad: Personal taste matters as much as available features, so you need to research and try out some keyboards and mice on your own.

- Additional case fans: You can grab two or three more 120mm fans for the case and/or an additional (ideally identical) fan for the CPU cooler.

- SSD: Optional but highly recommended. If you can bust your budget a bit, a good 240-to-256GB SSD (like, for example, the Samsung 840 250GB SSD) can make a huge difference in startup and load times.
