Go to solution Solved by Redsun20,

I'm thinking of building my own computer for the second time, and am liking the look of dual GTX 970s, and WiFi, and I want a nice, compact case that supports it. Is this too much to ask for a mATX board or case? I've been looking around at cases, (phanteks enthoo evolv caught my eye), but most only have 4 expansion slots. Can any of you help me find a solution? also, is there a way I can connect to WiFi through the Ethernet port in a slim form factor instead?

Don't go SLI in M-ATX it will just through more heat into that small space. Just out a single 980. Regardless, this board will work:

Don't bother sli'ing, go with single GTX 980. Especially in a compact case you do NOT want to be adding more heat.
