Need a Smaller Case for College

As the title states, I am going to college next year and would like a smaller case for my dorm room. I have a full tower now and I want a half tower, but I have no idea what is good or what my parts will fit in. 

This is my build https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Graymac_12/saved/#view=LHkHzy Any suggestions would be great.

 

Thanks All!

You can just move it into a Q500L, just don't use an AIO in that case, it's probably one of the smallest ATX cases that isn't slim. just need to make some considerations for airflow.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

The case in the parts list is more of a mid tower case.

 

How much smaller are you wanting to go?  Micro Atx?  Itx?

This case is pretty skinny, might work for you

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I don't know. I don't want to have to buy parts for Micro ATX

Them you will need to look at the cases provided above.  You are looking ofr a small form factor Mid Tower case.  @Fasauceome and @Streetguru provided examples of slightly smaller cases.
