Hello there!

I'm moving to a new place, and my current case is a bit too big.
I tried to hunt for smaller cases but I'm not sure if my hardware would fit it.
 

Can you guys recommend small cases? The smaller the better :D
 

My hardware is as follows:
My motherboard is an ASUS Prime Z370-P
My CPU is an Intel I-3-8100
My GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
My HDD is a 1 TB Western Digital one
My RAM is 2x4 GBs
 

Thank you in advance! :D

Your motherboard is an ATX board, so that will be the main deciding factor in case size.

I'd have a look for ATX cases and look at the dimensions to find the volume of each one.

Alternatively you could replace your motherboard with a MATX(smaller) or even ITX(smaller still), and be able to use a smaller case.

I am, if it's a reasonable price. For me, that amount is between 70-80 euros.

In that case if you really wanted something small you could go for an mATX board, not sure you can get ITX for that price. 

 

Could get something like the ThermalTake Core V21
