Portable Mini-ITX build

[Nalif]

Could I get some critiques and advice on this build? I'm not sure what video card to go with. I have two 1080p monitors, but I only use one to game on. I mostly play League of Legends and World of Warcraft, but I also usually play all the major single player games that are released ( Farcry, Crysis, Amnesia etc ). I'm located in NY and plan to use this for mostly gaming and editing/rendering video in premiere. My budget for the video card is flexible, but I'd like to keep it around $300.

Are you overclocking? If so, what does the Maximum VI Impact give you that the Asus Z87I-DELUXE or the MSI Z87I GAMING doesn't?

You can save some money by going with a cheaper set of RAM:

$130 - Kingston HyperX blu 2x8GB DDR3 1600
$135 - Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x8GB DDR3 1600
$140 - Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP 2x8GB DDR3 1600 (1.35V)

Why don't you have an SSD listed? It will improve performance and reduce loading times:

$120 - Crucial M500 240GB SSD
$154 - Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD

You don't need that large of a power supply. Swap it out for this:

$80 - Seasonic G Series SSR-550RM 550 watt modular power supply

Here is my recommendation for a $300-ish video card:

$310 - XFX Double D Radeon R9 280X 3GB video card

Thanks for the suggestions ! The motherboard is mostly because of reviews I've read and the aesthetics. The other two would be fine feature-wise, but for better or worse, I'm drawn to the Maximus VI. I'll definitely pick up an SSD, thanks for the reminder!
