HELP - The smallest case that can fit 2.5 slot 330 mm long GPU?

Basically the problem I'm in right now is as follows:

I have a huge case, Full Tower monstrocity, (manufacturer and the model of which are forgotten), which contains:
Gigabyte X79-UD3 mobo with i7 3820 installed,
Some 1333Mhz RAM, totalling in 16GB,
BONKERS HUGE MSI GTX 980ti Lightning LE. It is a huge 2.5 slot GPU, dimensions: 330mm length x 140mm x 53mm

What I want is to:

1) Get rid of the huge case and swap it for something smaller
2) Preferrably upgrade my mobo, RAM, and CPU in the process (the VR is bottlenecked)

The problem I am faced with is finding small cases that fit 330mm long GPU, as well as a compatible mobo. Can someone advise?

Without knowing what case you currently have I have no idea what you consider "huge"

your board isn't micro atx so you aren't going to find a lot of slimline or small form factor or even cube cases that'll fit the board

I want to replace the mobo, so that's not the issue if the mobo won't fit somewhere. I want to find the case that fits the GPU, everything else - I will solve :D

I found the ENTHOO EVOLV ITX case, the only issue is that I can't find where to buy it (I'm originally from Russia studying in UK)

ENTHOO EVOLV ITX

I'm seeing plenty of them for sale with worldwide shipping

that isn't a very small case which is why it may have been a good idea to elaborate on the size , but if that's small to you then sure buy that one.

This is the smallest I could find that fits exactly 330 mm length GPU. However, I'm open to the further suggestions!

Cooler master Elite 130 is listed as compatible on PCPartPicker.com, but I'm skeptical; All the builds I see on the site using triple fan cards are all dual slot, not 2.5

The Silverstone RVZ02 Definitely will though!

Here's a build I found showing a similar sized card fitting.

Sadly, it won't fit - the review here clearly states that the card cannot use more than 2 PCI slots, however 980ti Lightning accommodates 2.5!
Shame though, it's a really awesome case

However, this guy clearly looks like the winner! Compared to my case, this one is much smaller. What do you think? http://www.silverstonetek.com/raven/products/index.php?model=RVZ03&area=en&top=C

It should work! It's definitely deeper for 2.5" GPU's than the RVZ02

Just checked the depth allowance on that case and it's 149 mm for the GPU! Meaning my card would fit with its 140 mm depth size. Weee!

Thank you very much for pointing towards Silverstone.
