Hey!

I'm looking for peoples opinions on the smallest case I can get for the given build listed below, i see a lot of micro-itx cases and don't know a lot about them, but heres what I have to put inside it; 

Mobo: THIS (MSI H97M-G43)

CPU(cooler): Stock

Ram: THIS (Corsair Vengeance Pro)

GPU: THIS (GTX 960 Asus Strix)
PSU: THIS (Corsair CX-500 Modular. Standard sized PSU)

I'll also buy a 2.5" HDD and a SSD.

 

They're old parts I have, and looking to put into a compact case for some media output.

Thank you!

 

It's just my old PC parts, I

all u need to check is the PSU length+type and GPU length / CPU cooler height for mini itx cases usually ( the rest fits fine ) ^^

 

rather then looking for the smallest i would look to what is better looking for a nice price x) ( the smallest ones are usually expensive as fk and are only like 5cm smaller )

When you upgrade, change this. Or if you haven't bought it, don't buy it.

This unit looks nice:

It's just old parts. It wont be a pc running for days on end. I just bought a 1070 which leads me to a whole new PC from when I started, leaving all those parts I've listed sitting around.
