Looking to actually downscale my Define S to a Define nano S since my friend is getting rid of his old case. 

I have an i7-4790k lga 1150

looking for a NIC on board, or a place to put one since I have my own nic, if not, a PCIe Slot above a x16 slot for GPU

Dont really care for colors

Mini-ITX board

Im really not sure which mini-itx would be good. max ram would be nice of anything 16GB and higher DDR3 would be best since thats what i currently have, but i would go ddr4 if need be

If you want to keep overclocking feature of your K sku, you'll probably need a Z series chipset.

There's something cool here - you just can't see it.
