I'm wondering which of the two cases I should go for.

 

- Phanteks Enthoo Evolv mATX TG

- Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX

 

Motherboard would either be  Asus ROG Strix Z370-G or Asus ROG Strix Z370-I.

I was wondering if I need a mATX Motherboard if I only use 2 x 4 GB of RAM and no plans for SLI.

 

Thank you.

Truthfully, I have the ATX version of the Entho Evolv and I would recommend you stay away from them for air cooling. They have EXTREMELY poor air flow...

Personally I like the design on them way better than on the Air 240, which would be my 3rd choice right now.

Can you recommend an other ITX Case?

if you like the looks, and if these outweigh the airflow limitations, then go ahead purchase whichever size you wish. I can still get 5gz OC at 80C in my 8700k in the itx model with a drp3.
