Suitable case size

Hi,

 

Which case size would be the most suitable?

It needs to fit a 160mm air cpu cooler; 2 3.5" hard drives; 1 2.5" ssd, a single graphics card (amd 7870).

That is all; it doesn't need to fit water cooling or any other pci cards, nor will it in the future.

Ideally I would like a smaller case since it takes up less space.

Would cooling be better in a smaller or larger case?

The case also needs to be fairly quiet; i.e. decent sound proofing.

Thanks in advance.

A matx mid tower like the Coolerm Master N200 would be great.

If you fancy mitx, the fractal design node 304 should do, otherwise for matx a fractal design arc mini or maybe the n200 or silverstone ps07/tj08 (same case basically).
