Hello, everyone!

 

Around 2 to 3 years ago, I decided to get a 750D case and Standard ATX board. Now I regret doing this :D (Really heavy with all the components)

 

I will be moving states in summer, and I was thinking of getting a Mini-ITX. Would also need a small case to be able to put on a carry-on would be perfect !!! 

EDIT#1

 

CPU: Intel i7 4770k 
GPU: EVGA 770 Dual Bios 
RAM: 16GB DDR3 Corsair Vengenance (x2 8GB each)
MOBO: ASUS Z87 Maximus Hero VI 
PSU: 750w Corsair RM 
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 120 GB 
SSD: Intel 730 Series 240 GB 

x2 Seagate 3TB HDDs
COOLING: Corsair H100i

 

Budget for this project is less than $200.

 

I was looking at a Corsair Obsidian 250D Mini ITX Case but i am open to any other option.

 

Thank you in advance!

The 250D is quite large for an mITX case. There are plenty of case options from super small mITX like a Node 202 to "massive" mATX like a 350D. 

 

You'll also likely need to buy used at this point since there aren't really any Z87/Z97 boards available anymore.

Do you mean micro atx.

I believe what i want is a Mini-ITX? The mobo with 2 ram slots and 1 PCI-E for GPU.

Yes, that is Mini-ITX. Mini-ATX was once a thing iirc but now it isn't.
