Small PC case recommendations

Hello, everyone!
 

I'm new to Linus Tech Tips and I was wondering if anyone could give me some recommendations for the smallest case given my current components.

I currently have a giant Coolermaster HAF case that I hate. My budget is around $50 bucks but if it's a little more that's cool. Thanks in advance! 

 

 

System specs:
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
Mobo: ASRock H97 Pro4 ATX
PSU: Thermaltake 700w

I think you'll be hard pressed to find something smaller than this.

I'd read some reviews on it before purchase though.

Amazon has 106 reviews and 4.5 stars (also 5 bucks cheaper)

Unfortunately the rating is combined for all the cases listed...so it's not entirely accurate to one specific case.

Thank you Dizmo and Damascus! That's an awesome case and I will definitely look into the reviews. Is there another case comparable? 

I've actually never heard of Riotoro until now!

 

Unless you build it yourself no other is really comparable.
