Smallest possible dual expansion slot full atx case

So here's the challenge should anyone choose to except it,

 

I have a friend with an ageing sandy bridge era gaming pc but he wants to downsize for uni whilst still utilizing some of the older parts,

the 2500k is only marginally slower than even a 4670k so its definatly salvageable as is the full atx motherboard, the psu is well over compensating at 800w (but everyone does) and the 7950 has probably had its time in the sun. 

The large components that need to fit in go as follows;

  • the full atx motherboard (inc. cpu)
  • a full atx psu
  • a 260-300mm gpu (probably gtx760 or r9 280x)
  • one 3.5 inch drive
  • one 2.5 inch ssd
  • one small wifi card

An incredibly difficult rebuild doesn't phase us, as were all rather well seasoned custom builders and neither does adequate airflow to the CPU or space for more than a water-block, as if the hyper 212 can't hold its own under temps a custom wc loop will go in without hesitation (possibly external in parts (ghetto)).

 

hopefully that was comprehensible...

 

um....

 

cheers guys in advance

NZXT Source 210 is a decent case for the price. LIAN LI PC-A05B is also good case, but more expensive.

You can also show him the Fractal node 605 if he wants a case like that.

that one is actually pretty nice and it could very well be the smallest

 

but i cannot help but sense a small geographic bias  :P

Designed in sweden, made in china so idk, fractal is not my favorite case manufacturer but they do alright.

I think a 450D might be able to accommodate those features.
