Looking to get a smaller case and motherboard that can support what I have so far.

[Melano]

My Current rig will follow.

 

 CPU - Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

 CPU Cooler - Corsair H75 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

 Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 5 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

 Memory - PNY Anarchy 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-2133

 Storage - Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive x 2

 Storage - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive x 1

 Graphics - EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB SC

 Casu - Enermax OSTROG ATX Rosa Mid-Tower Case

 Power - Thermaltake TR2 600W ATX Power Supply

 

I don't like my current case. Its too big and bulky, and not quiet enough. I really want to keep it more cool overall too. I want the new case to have more airflow and at least another fan. I'm also looking for a motherboard to fit what I have in the new small case, unless my current one can fit. I'd super prefer to only have to swap a case.

Micro-ATX downgrade. Board is as good, case has soundproofing, a PSU basement, two low RPM fans, etc.

Edit: Ah crap. That's still a pretty big case though... I'm limited on space and have to grab something smaller sadly.

that isn't a bad case actually, might go for that when I upgrade to either Ryzen or X299 to replace my 250D. 

old 250d doesn't even have a side panel that opens and the top is scratched super bad.
