ATX or m-Atx case?

[GauntletV2]

Hello, I built my first computer about half a year ago, and it's a very good build, and I only have the regret of the larger case I bought.  I currently have the Corsair 650D, but seeing as I would like a smaller footprint, and I LAN a lot, it is inconveniently big for me.  My question is, do I look for a case to fit my current ATX motherboard, or do I invest in an m-ATX board and get a case that fits that, seeing that they are normally smaller as it is, and are easier to find at a small size.  Also could I have recommendations for both. Thanks.

If you wan to lots off lan party's then a smaller case and motherboard to suit would be a good choice.
But what cpu cooler are you using ? as this might effect you case and motherboard choices.

Go M- ITX OR M- ATX  and get maybe a bitfenix prodigy (or the like) wouldn't be a bad idea another option would be like the coolermaster HAF XB evo

Then I would get a nice ITX mother and case to suit (maybe a corsair 380T).

if you are looking to add my pci-e cards then stick with m-atx and pair it with a Bitfenix Prodigy M

you could alway keep your current mobo and get a smaller more portable case like the Bitfenix Survivor too. 

but your watercooling would be limited to a single 120mm aio cooler
