ITX case suggestions

Long story short I have a LAN PC I'm building, I have the right mobo and GPU taken care of, I even picked up an sfx PSU. Which is the problem, I want to find a nice portable itx case that will be able to mount that sfx power supply. The only thing I don't want the case to be is a console shaped one, I'm weird and prefer the cube style ones.

 

TLDR: Please help me find an ITX case that uses sfx PSU's

That's not a really grat GPU...

What PSU did you get?? Some 20 buck thing?!


Anyway, with THAT GPU you could have almost gone the APU way and make an ultra compact Small Form Factor PC - with an AMD Ryzen 5 2400G -  though you need a Cooler with 40mm height max. And the Case only has an 80W PSU (5A on +12V)

 

So the next question is:
What do you want? Want a Desktopish style?
Want a Cubish thing?
Want something with a handle?

 

Anyway, what about the Silverstone Milo ML-08??

All the components for it are spare parts I've been gathering, it's not exactly meant to be great.

i3-6100

Gtx 1050

8gb ram 

120gb SSD + 500gb 5400rpm 2.5in drive

Itx board(I think it's an h110)

And a 450 watt sfx psu I got for 4 bucks at Goodwill that works perfectly fine

 

I'm looking for a cube style itx case not a super thin one, it's just a weird preference I have. This is intended to be a lower end PC that I can take to lan parties or D&D sessions. That way I don't have to lug around my expensive main rig. Something small and relatively cheap but capable of getting the job done

 

Hopefully that's a better description for you

You would have been better off with a Ryzen 2400G and no Graphics card, though you'd need fast memory for that.

But I hope you got the i3-6100 for a good price as its only a 2 Core (4 Threads) CPU...

Urgh, seems like you want to get a new Computer...

So that the PSU can kill it and get the one I've suggested, do you? ;)

 

Get rid of that junk and get a good quality PSU!
That's the most important part.

And a shitty PSU can cause you unnecessary Trouble or even kill the Components.

In the worst case, it can even kill you or burn down your house!

 

A cheapish, somewhat decent SFX PSU would be this:

A more expensive one would be the Gold ones...

And since you need a new PSU anyway, this is also an option:

And a cheap PSU would be be quiet Pure Power 10 with 400W or Corsair CX450 (though louder) or Bitfenix Formula. Pure Power must not be much more expensive than the Corsair.

 

And ATX PSU are better than SFX anyway, due to size restrictions.
