Matx Case Suggestions

Greetings all!

I recently figured out that my salvage build, with an i5 6600 and a gtx 1060, was overheating the gpu in its one fan office case. As a result, I would appreciate any budget matx case suggestions that are narrower than 11 inches, the space between my desk and my bed. I really like the core v21, for instance, but just can't fit it. My maximum budget is around $70. Any imput you could give would be helpful, thanks!

PS: Using stock cooler and this gpu. (which did not cost $350 when I bought it.)

Thanks!

Try using the PSU Tier List!

It shouldn't look out of place either case, but in the cooler master mastercase 3.1, it would fill up more space.

Ok. That plastic cover over the fans does not give me the warm and fuzzies tho. I think I will look into this https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811352068 some more, as having top exhaust would be better for my space anyways. Thank you for the tips!

There's beneficial airflow, but choose whichever you like
