Smallest Case (ITX?) for NH-D15 + 3 3.5" drives

toti

Hello there community, 

I'm currently looking into steamlining my build and I'm struggling to find a preferably small case that can fit my components. 

 

My system, or the parts I would like to keep using: 

 

R9 3950X cooled by a NH-D15

KFA2 RTX 2080 EX OC

32GB DDR4 3000MHz Crucial Ballistix

Samsung 950? Pro NVME 1TB

Samsung 850 EVO Sata 1TB

4TB HDD (Toshiba I believe)

2x 2TB Hitachi HDDs in Raid 0 

Silverstone 650W 80+ SFX PS

 

USB-C PCIE extension card 

 

The parts that I need advice on how to replace: 

 

Asus Prime B350M-A mATX MB

Corsair Carbide 100R Case

 

Everything I have listed currently works, but the combination makes me uneasy. Both GPU and CPU underperform on this board, especially the latter (by a 10% margin in some cases), so I was planning on upgrading to X570. 

The Case is one of the cheapest Corsair cases on the market and I only used it because Amazon sent me this one accidentally and I wasn't patient enough to wait for another one. 

 

Now, I'm having a hard time finding a case that fits my cooler and HDDs but ideally should be smaller than my Mid-Tower. I am aware that ITX might not be the way to go here. 

There's one Asrock mATX X570 Board I am considering but the choice in good mATX Cases is disappointing. 

 

Please help me find a case.

You can use PCPartpicker to help narrow down your search

Add your parts to https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ first so the filters apply correctly for thre number of drives you have drives and the NH-D15 height. (Dont worry about specific drive models, it's only the 3.5" size that matters)

 

Looking around, the Core 500 Might do, but fan placement on the D15 might need to be adjusted.
