Looking for a specific case

Im looking for a case under $100. It needs to be really small. The hardest part is that I want a case that is both itx and can mount a 120mm or a 240mm corsair AIO that is slim enough that it doesnt support a regular full size pcie card. Basically I'm looking to build an A10 7870k based system with 2400mhz memory and no graphics card. Most cases that i can find that are that slim dont have room for AIOs. Maybe the case doesnt exsist but if it does I'd like to find one.

Basically Impossible.

 

However the Cooler Master Elite 110 is the closest you'll get.

Mounting an aio on 7870k is such a massive waste of money it hurts.

Yea just don't, get a 25$ air cooler and call her a day.

I was thinking more on the lines of get 860k and r7 260x or better and have more fps.

I live next to a microcenter and the 7870k is only 120 AND i get 40 off a motherboard when I buy them in combo. The water cooler isnt nessesary I just thought it would be fun to way overclock the apu. The 260x alone about the same as the apu and I want a super small footprint system so the added width is a no go. All this has to do is stream 1080p and not be complete shit when I decide to game on it. I signed up for leap computing and wanted a far more mobile rig. If leap computing is near what its hyped up to be than the 260x is useless in most situations anyway.

260x is about twice as fast as igpu in 7870k, but okay.

Ya but a 260x is many times slower than a 390x (https://www.leapcomputing.com/)

 

Also this case is what i was thinking.

Just looking for something like that except slimer.

cloud computing is never going to work unless you like ping. Ping can't be removed and if it's in the 100's it's annoying as HELL.

They are reporting less than 40 and since I have google fiber it might actually work in my area. Like i said if it works it will be glorious. If not I dont need the 7870k anyway because unless AMD Zen stuff is just absolutly mindblowing im building something with a skylake i7 possibly one of the new xeons. The cloud computing has a 5820k alloted to me and since I video edit and like to play around in cad a bit its going to be nessesary to have more computing power.
