So here is my problem, my space is limited and my old case is just too massive to justify keeping at this point and I would like to find something smaller.  

 

This is my current case.

This is my current GPU

I have a full size ATX mobo with a i7-4790k with this cooler

For drives i have two SSDs and one HDD and a DVD drive

 

I would like to go as small as possible while keeping decent air flow as I do not want to move to water cooling  and I do have a small overclock of about 100mhz.  Aesthetics are important but not nearly as important as functionality.  I do not plan on crossfire or adding any additional cards in the future.  My budget is USD $150 but less is better if possible.

 

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

This is literally as small as it gets

 

There are some other smaller cases that aernt this extremely small though (the air 540 is quite large for an ATX case anyways)

since you mentioned a DVD drive, the define R5 would suit you nicely in both the aesthetics and functionality department.

 

it is on the bigger side tho.
