So I am looking to purchasing a cube chassis to transplant my rig into. It looks like I may be moving across the country in the near future and as much as I l love my big full tower case I think its time I make the change.
I'm currently running:
MotherBoard: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming LGA 1151

CPU: Intel Core 15 6600K

Hard Drives:

Samsung 850 EVO 250 Gb SSD

Samsung 850 EVO 500 Gb SSD

Western Digital 1TB HDD

Cooling: Corsair H100i v2

GPU: Zotac GTX 1070

RAM: Corsair Vengence LPX 16Gb 

PSU: Corsair RMx 750W Fully Modular

 

Some brands I have used in the past and like are Corsair, Cooler Master, and BeQuiet but I am open to suggestions.

My Rig:  Motherboard - ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING | CPU Intel Core i5 6600K 3.5 GHz | GPU ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 | RAM CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) | Case Cooler Master Storm Trooper | Keyboard Logitech G910 | Mouse Logitech G502

I enjoyed the Corsair 250D when I had it.

I have a big ATX thermaltake case, doesn't give me any issues, power supply is mounted under the motherboard base, so you can tuck away the cables. Hard drives under as well. Big quiet fan in front. 

It's this one here

I used to have the Cooler Master HAF-XB, and my brother still has his.  We both very much enjoyed building in these cases and cooling is very good.  Only reason I sold mine is that I wanted something smaller.

I mean thats a mITX case, but good to know!

 

Most Cube cases like the Corsair Air 540 arent that much smaller volume wise than full towers, theyre just shorter and fatter. The Riotoro CR1080 is actually a small cube (ish) case, though your PSU wouldnt fit in it.

I am also open to changing out some of the components if the price isn't too bad. I really think I should have gone the Micro ITX build in the first place but the allure of the large tower was too strong.

I feel you on the large tower, especially as my first build.

 

The Haf XB is not too bad actually. With your setup I'd probably shoot for that, since there's no good reason to switch the PSU just to get a different case when it's a good unit

I really like that Air540! Even though it looks a little wide... it may work out perfectly for me. Priced out the case with come corsair RGB fans +controller

The footprint is pretty nice. Isnt too long or too tall. Best of everything I think. Need to hurry and order another one.
