Go to solution Solved by Deli,

There is no such thing as "really small" M-ATX or ATX case. If you need it really small, then the only option is M-ITX. M-itx only has two RAM slots. However with DDR4 can go to 16GB per stick, you get 32GB on a M-itx board. Same as four sticks of DDR3, which only has 8GB per stick.

 

Really small case that fits all the stuffs you want. Ncase M1, EVGA Hadron(if you can still find one), Silverstone SG13....

 

A little bigger you have Fractal Design Define Nano S, Phanteks Evolv ITX....

Hello, 

I'm looking for a new case that must be really small. I need it for college. The Specs I will be putting in it are as follows: i7 4790k, 4 sticks of DDR3 RAM, 1 NVIDIA GTX 1080 ti or Titan XP, corsair RM1000i psu, 2.5" Samsung 850 pro SSD, 1-2 WD Blue HDD's. Must have IO on back for 4 usb devices on back and an optical jack. I would appreciate it if you sent me a pc-part-picker link of the full build. If need be I can get a new PSU. I dont plan to expand with anymore graphics card so just use 1. I would also Like a side panel window. Thanks in advance!

Also you could try for a Node but might be a bit small

Oh come on man.... Maybe he already got his parts. No need to be that mean. The 4790K is still relevant.

As for @IFUKUPALOT, what's the form factor of your motherboard so that I can determine what case to recommend to you.
