Down sizing my PC - NEED Help!

[MattGameDev]

I made a topic a few weeks ago asking if it was possible to downsize a PC without losing a bunch of my PC parts. Now that i know i can, i need some help figuring out which parts i will need to replace and what case(s) are the best choice. First off, let me state that this PC is mostly for Autodesk Maya Photoshop, UDK and GMS, but with the occassional gaming session too. I also need to down size because of travel. Travelling 12 hours via bus across the province to get to college/come home is a huge pain in the ass when they won't let you take more then 2 "suitcases" onboard without paying like.. $150 or some bullshit and the only carry-on they'll except is like a small bag/bookbag.

 

Currently, i have:

 

CPU: I7-2600k (LGA1155)

Motherboard: Asus P8Z68 Pro-V Gen3 (i know i'll have to replace this)

RAM: 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 Corsiar Vegance @ 1600MHz

GPU: EVGA GTX 480

Case: Corsair Vegance C70 (i know i'll have to replace this)

PSU: OCZ ZX 1000w gold cerified (link)

Storage: one 128GB SSD & two 1TB 7200RPM HDD (even though this barely matters, i added it so people don't suggest removing hard drive cages)

Cooling/Fans/etc: Corsair H100i + a bunch of 120mm Corsair fans

 

Now that i've given everyone an idea of what i have, here's the problem; I know my CPU, GPU, HDD/SSD's and fans will fit in a smaller case, however i do not know if my power supply will (fairly big) and i'm not sure if the smaller motherboards have 4 slots for RAM (as i've only ever built ATX PCs). Another big issue i'm having is picking out a case that will work fine with my H100i (as it's dual rad). I don't want to get a PC case that can't fit my GTX 480 because i needed the room for an H100i either. I've (kinda) narrowed down to about 2 cases (both corsair which is funny), the 250D mini-atx case or the 240 HAF micro-atx case and both will work with my long-ass 480 (9.5 inchs/dual-slot).

 

So... i need some feedback. I plan on selling most of my PC parts i don't need either online or via my local classifieds in order to basically fund most of my new parts, but the main problem: i just don't know exactly what will work for me and that's where you guys come in.

Do you really want to put a gtx 480 in a  small build. Isn't that the card that was nicknamed the furnace?

Well, it underclocks relatively well...

I mean, at this point (being a college student) i don't have the choice to upgrade it at the moment. I'd rather have the portability vs none, even it that means risking the temps being a little higher. Plus, that card has seen hell and back when i use to play WoW in the summer (reaching 100C for about 20 minutes).

Stop wasting my time by commenting useless things. I'm trying to get help and don't need your input on what's good or bad with my existing setup.

Bump.

 

Still need help
