I am currently switching cases because my pre-built mini-ATX PC's case is damaged beyond what I feel comfortable using. I don't feel like spending a lot of money on upgrades or new parts. I just want a case in which I can basically put all the stuff that I currently have, and build it into a new case, with no compatibility issues. It has to be a Small Form Factor size and slim is better than wide. 

 

Processor: i7 3770k LGA 1155

CPU Cooling: NZXT Kraken X40 w/ 140mm Radiator

Memory: 16GB [8x2] DDR3-1600 G.Skill Ripjaws X

Video Card: MSI 970 GTX

Motherboard: ASRock Z77E-ITX LGA 1155

Case: ???

 

Which case should I get? I want it to be cooled well, but also be pretty quiet. Any ideas?

 

Thank you so much and Happy Post Mother's Day.

First, there's only micro-atx, or mini-itx. So get that straight.

Second, I WAS going to suggest an elite 130, but you have a 140mm rad, so nope.

I think your best option might be a Corsair Obsidian 250D, as it's the only case I know of that will take that 140mm rad. Besides the elite 110, but it only does short cards....

Or perhaps the HAF Stacker 915R...BE SURE IT'S THE R VERSION. Or Thermaltake Core V1....

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!
