Looking for a case for my next build

[leaderroy]

I'm curious as to what you guys can come up with for my next build/upgrade.

My last build was an mITX machine and I'm in love with the concept of having a small, silent and powerful PC.
I don't mind modding the case in order to fit the parts listed below.

CPU: Intel Core I9 9900k (Probably gonna look for a CPU & MB bundle)

CPU Cooler: Undecided

Motherboard: Undecided (Open for suggestions)

RAM: Undecided

PSU: Corsair SF600 (I have the ATX bracket for compatibility)
Graphics: ROG Poseidon GTX 1080Ti

Case: Undecided (This is why you're here)
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB

Storage2: Intel SSD DC S3600 800GB

Other: Elgato HD60 Pro

 

Requirements:

• Must fit the parts listed.
• Room for a 140mm Radiator.
• The case must be as small as possible.

 

Nice to have:

• A glass side panel.
• Room for either a 140mm or 280mm Radiator.

 

 

Does not require:

• Hard-drive cages.

 

 

More may be added as I see your replies

Leaving this one alone, since all  I would say is Define r6.

 

Have at it @fasauceome

......Point out that the case cant fit his 298mm long GPU?  

 

You could always try the SG08B-LITE instead

Oh wow that's a full inch longer than expected, pics definitely don't reflect that.

There's an obvious joke in here somewhere............  

 

Modding the case to fit the long GPU would require cutting into the only spot for the 140mm radiator.

My first thought was that the GPU would just go alongside the front mounting bracket, and then a hole could be tapped or something to accommodate the 140mm cooler further to the opposite side, but the GPU would actually go through the front panel so...

We also cant forget we're gonna need hefty cooling for the CPU which hasnt been decided. A 120mm air tower isnt gonna cut it for that. We're potentially looking at a full custom water loop given the GPU already has a waterblock built in...

An H80i v2 is nice and thicc, so if a case is gonna get modded for a 140mm radiator to fit then I recommend that one. 140 mm isn't much for a 9900 K so I don't know what else it would be able to take the heat

actually a 120mm rad  but man would that 49mm thick rad plus a 25mm fan be a tight fit If at all in the SG13B. 

 

The Fractal DesignCore 500 is only 4 Liters bigger but can hold a 280mm radiator at the top. If we left the GPU to Air cooling, a 280mm AIO (should) be enough for a 9900k without extreme OC

Fan on the front panel side, rad and other fan on mobo side. Just barely enough room.

[leaderroy]

Would be a challenge for sure to fit it in the SG13B, not so sure I can fit the capture card in there too though 
Isn't that an mITX case if I recall correctly?

I dont think a fan will fit on the other side of the rad. To use this AIO you'd have to for-go one of the fans

You know, we completly missed the part where you need an mATX board because of the capture card.........

 

@fasauceome I blame you for distracting me

Damn that's what I get for assuming

 

but if you put all the parts in a trash compactor, they should fit

[Fasauceome]

There's slim if you want small in only one direction

What kind of cooling do you want to use for the CPU?

Priority is on it being quiet but still overclockable, custom loop is preferred but not a requirement,

Since you're okay with a bit of modding, the Define C Mini/Meshify C Mini can hold a 27mm thick 240 at the top and a 240/280mm at the front, though for the front you'll need to mount the fans to the "outside" of the case rails. For the Define C, that leaves very little room between the fans and the front panel. For the Meshify C, that means trimming the back side of the front male's webbing to fit the fans. (example shown here in the ATX version)

Custom loop will be your best bet for keeping the 9900K in check. I've personally used the Define Mini C in a build but I didnt do any custom watercooling in it.

I'm looking at the Tempered Glass version of the case right now.
+ for style 
Thanks for your time and effort!

I dont know if you can shop in Sweden and have it imported, if so...

I usually use PCpartpicker.com to shop for places outside the US, but it doesnt always have all available computer part retailers listed on it, and not all countries.

I'll probably figure something out, checking with local retailers first.
