NEED A BUILD - AS SMALL AS POSSIBLE - INTEL CPU - QUIET - 7970

Well I'll be building it in 15 days, getting ideas together though. I want as small as possible, decent performance etc. Debating whether I should wait for IVY due to power consumption (I want silence and DECENT performance).

This will be a lan/mobile rig so I'd like small and quiet. I'd like to get the CPU to 4.6-4.8 ghz to ensure no performance bottleneck on the GPU at all. I'm thinking a 2600k?

I need:

Case - small (INTAKE AIR FILTERS)
Cooler - small quiet
CPU - 2600k?
Motherboard - Mini ATX? maximus gene?
GPU - 7970 gigabyte windforce 3 at 1200mhz (clock) and 1650 mhz (mem)
Psu - What would fit with the case? 500-650w? Don't mind paying extra for quality here (MODULAR PLEASE)
Fans - ??? QUIET


Okay. Say $1000 but I'd either like to wait for ivy if it'd make a difference in terms of noise/performance. I don't mind paying more if necessary. Try to keep it lightweight and easy to lug around but easy enough to build in!.

I already own the GPU.

Everything else needs to be bought from amazon.com (USA) no other place because pc parts here are expensive as fudgecake and amazon ship to po boxes and I trust them warranty-wise etc.

LGA 1155.

The only way I'll change this is if there's a small enough case with ATX and I'll put my sabertooth x79 board in there and buy a 3820. But then the budget'll be $600 since I'd need to buy a new board.

If I do the above I will have a free h100 cooler but gl getting a small case to fit it. the fans are quiet though, pwm fans at 1000rpm.

EDIT:

Basically help me out:

I want a small portable powerful rig. Have a gigabyte 7970 lying around, I'm purchasing two 7970 lightenings in April (birthday $$$ + salary) and this'll be in my HAF X 50kg rig .

If I go with x79 and 3820 it'll be better for me overall because I can get a rampage 4 extreme with better pcie spacing for multi-gpu and more features and more BUILD TIEM.

Any chance of a windowed/ventilated case?

I'd like to have the side panel be useful in some ways.

How would I lug around a tower case?

I was thinking a case with a handle if tower style? Or a cube/cuboid/lunchbox style case?

Thanks though, gonna look at some more lian li cases they look SWEET for mass-produced stuff.

Thanks guys, I'd go with MATX though, more features. I'm thinking thermaltake A30?

Shuttle has an x79 pc kit with no cpu/hdd/gpu but a PSU is included.


Also I WILL BE GETTING NEW 7970's. The reason is because mine are OCd a lot atm and I get coil whine and I get noisy fans. I will clock it nearer to stock clocks for this build to have no coil whine and almost silent on load. Also if I plan to Crossfire with double the coil whine and 2x + more for less space the fan rpms ill kill myself.

Edit: are there any small atx cases? I only want 2 pcie slots so even a case with 4 wont matter .
