If you mean mATX, take a look at the Caselabs BH4. It's pretty compact.

Howdy,
So what is your desired hardware for this build? To properly answer this it would help to know what exactly you want to cram into this case. So far we got a 1080 ti. do you want to water cool your GPU and or your CPU? Air cool? How many storage devices (SSD, HDD) and do you want to have a optical drive (DVD, card reade, so on)?

Without that here are some builds I have done in mATX I currently have the Thermaltake Core V1 and that can fit a 1080 ti (Limited like #3 & 4 below) and it has a i7-7700k with a Asus ROG Z270i Mobo. So if you want to go small you can go smaller than mATX and go mini-ITX. Also make sure you go fully modular power supply with a small build (like the EVGA SuperNOVA G3). I attached some picks of my current ITX build to give you some ideas. Thinking outside the given mounting options may be required. My moto, Think big build small.

1) DIYPC Cuboid
   Max GPU Length - 340mm
   Max CPU Cooler Height - 210mm

2) IN WIN 301 This is one of my favorite builds, the glass panel comes off effortlessly (no screws) and its just a sexy little case.
   Max GPU Length - 330mm
   Max CPU Cooler Height - 158mm
   Link: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108529

3) RAIJINTEK STYX You have to plan this one out carefully otherwise you can kill your airflow. When done right though it is awesome and the anodized aluminum appearance is just stunning.
  Max GPU Length - 280mm
  Max CPU Cooler Height - 180mm

4) Corsair Carbide Series Air 240 Bigger case and lost of air flow. Dual Chambers
