Agreed. Other than the Prodigy and the Phenom (which are fine cases) they have nothing really worth looking at.

EVGA Hadron Air. Smaller but it can hold upto a 780ti, and better looking than the Phenom and Prodigy and comes with a 500w 80+ gold PSU which is more than enough for those parts. Seriously 750watts?! What was your friend thinking?

 

If that is out of your price range the fractal node 304 is much more affordable and with a CX600m it will fit your parts just fine however the airflow is questionable.

Impossible with mini-ITX. Get that thought completely out of his head. Plus two low end GPUs are always worse than one high end. He would be better off going APU for a short while and sticking a 780ti in there later. Also the EVGA cooler will blow hot air into the case. A blower style cooler is almost a requirement for mini-ITX. 

 

I don't wanna be mean but I just want to make sure your buddy is not making any mistakes :)

take a look at the parts list, it's a ATX motherboard.

 

if your buddy wants a small case he's better off going with something like a 4670k rather than the 8350 and get a m-atx motherboard.

read everytihng, say nothing.

If you want it to be bitfenix, then I'd say prodigy, you can put micro atx motherboard in it, and still be able to do sli.
