Help me find a small case and other parts for my new build!!!!

armysappersniper

Hi all, I currently have this setup on partpicker. I just ordered the parts today they are all coming in. But I don't have a case and I don't have fans (minus the ones on the PSU and Graphics cards). I need help finding a case around Length or Depth: 13"-17" Width: 11"-14" Height: no more than 9.5". I am having a friend help me build this, but I am very new at all this. Any help, tips, nudges in the right direction to find parts are GREATLY APPRECIATED. I am having trouble with the silverstone case that I picked out for it before, as the size was almost perfect (still didn't fit the motherboard by 0.5" or so) but I am looking to find something that can handle some games, but mainly to stay cool, quiet while multitasking and watching movies. Right now currently on Partpicker....i have been solely looking at the MICROATX DESKTOP

I recommend the Coolermaster N200, bloody awesome case for cheap, also btw the psu you got is WAY OVERKILL, you system will never pull over 400w(in its current config), if you already have it then its fine i guess but if you have the ability to return it then you could save some money, get a 550-600w psu and get a better graphics card, the 7770 is decent but it will struggle with many higher tier games, if its a htpc then you are completely fine.

cpu: intel i5 4670k @ 4.5ghz Ram: G skill ares 2x4gb 2166mhz cl10 Gpu: GTX 680 liquid cooled cpu cooler: Raijintek ereboss Mobo: gigabyte z87x ud5h psu: cm gx650 bronze Case: Zalman Z9 plus


Listen if you care.

Xigmatek Aquila, Silverstone SG09 or TJ08/PS07/PS08, Corsair 350D, Fractal Design Arc Mini or Define Mini.

Not sure which Silverstone case you're talking so I just threw out all their mid-range mATX cases.

 

That PSU is way overkill btw, get something like a Corsair CX430 or CX500.

 

EDIT: The Xigamtek Aquila isn't out yet in the US.

Gaming: starcraft II, maybe LOL, and other RTS, NO FPS games

 

 

Do you think that I could fit this into Lian Li PC-V351B Black Aluminum MicroATX desktop computer case? This is the size I was shooting for.... and do you think I need more fans?

Where have you seen the Xigmatek Aquila for sale within the US?

If you want seriously small then SG09, or SG10 if your want something better looking

I went with that PSU, because there was a website....i believe it was asus website, it had me put all my things in and it came out to be around 550-600? so I just upped it in case my computer ever needed it. So both of you still recommend taking it down a notch?

I've read their Facebook page it's coming this February, but of course, they still haven't said anything about it since then. I'll go edit my first post. :D

Yup, go with 430w-600w if you want some headroom for future upgrades.

looking at motherboard dimensions and sg09, it didn't look like the MOBO would fit, can you confirm/deny this?

I really, really wanted to get their board but they have been saying it is coming to US soon for like two months now so I gave up on them. Unfortunate they took so long to come to market in the US.

Yeah, I know that feel. I was gonna get one but I ended up with the SG09.

i noticed there is a slight difference between the SG09 (MOBO horizontal) and SG10 (MOBO vertical), will that be tricky when putting all the parts together?

 

Also both of those options shows that "another 5.25" external drive bay is needed" what isn't fitting?

They are both vertical, the SG10 and the SG09 is the same case but different front panel.
