Hey guys, I think I am trying to get a SFF case, but want it to fit a ATX power supply and be relatively small. I just picked up a evga gq 650 semi modular power supply with a max length of 165 mm ( it was cheap). I am trying to get a very cost effective build as this is my 2nd computer. 

 

I have been looking at the silverstone SG-13 and the coolermaster elite 110. The SG-13 is 11.5L and the elite 110 is 15L. The SG-13 is currently $52 on amazon and the 110 is $45. The 110 will for sure fit the power supply and the sg-13 may or may not, I would love to hear any thoughts on this. I will choose a gpu that will fit either case, not sure about the max sizes, but I do not anticipate a problem. I like the looks of the sg-13 way better. Not sure about thermal differences. The only other thing to think about really is the max cpu cooler clearance with the SG-13 at 61mm and 110 at 76mm. I am looking at either a stock AMD cooler or a cheap low profile air cooler option instead of AIO. 

 

Any thoughts?

Have an ATX PSU in my SG13, it's perfectly fine, aside from slightly higher temps- just need a short cooler

How long was yours? I am curious about the 165mm length of mine. I did get it partially because it is semi-modular.

Mine's 150mm, you should be able to fit that unit in there but you may have to remove the hard drive mount
