So I currently have a big case and would like to downsize to something more portable this more portable case cN be a small atx or a micro atx and I also need a cpu cooler that fits the design my budget for case is $50-$75 and cpu cooler budget is $50

The rest of the build is a i7 4790 and a h97 mobo for which ever size a MSI 970 8gbs of ram and a 2.5 inch hybrid hard drive.

<p>Wish I could have this already!! : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qTLRjX

What motherboard do you have?

I'd suggest bundling up the budget for the case and cooler as that doesn't needlessly restrict your options when you're buying them together anyway.

The 350D window is on sale for 79 on newegg and the cooler doesnt have to be 50$ , it can come cheaper and cooler

The 350D is about the size of a mid tower and isn't that portable.

Fine take whatever budget you want I just want help and this all in the future so I can buy whatever mobo fits case size just want my build smaller

Why not just go itx in that case? Core V1: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/thermaltake-case-ca1b800s1wn00

Why an aftermarket cooler if you're not oc'ing? If it's for lower noise, Pure Rock: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/be-quiet-cpu-cooler-bk009

The reason I don't go mini itx is that I already have discreet wifi card and I want to be able to put that on new build and also I would like a little bigger space for airflow

<p>Wish I could have this already!! : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qTLRjX

I like this one too just a little less any more?

Air 240? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-cc9011070ww

It doesn't fit the Pure Rock but like I mentioned already, you could probably go without an aftermarket cooler.

Ok like the options I have but now I was wondering what is a cheap water aio that is small to fit in these cases but would cool as good as the pure rock

Why get an aftermarket cooler in the first place?

Stock are loud and inefficient trust me I do not like the stock I am using now

If i remember you have an fx 6300 atm from an earlier post. Bear in mind that Intel's stock coolers are much more quite than amd's stock coolers.
