Need help finding case.

[NiamhNyx]

Over a year ago, I bought a premade PC on sale for $450. It was a cybertron with an i5-7400 and gtx 1050, so the small case really did not affect it as much.

I have done some upgrades to it thanks to a better job. It now has an i7-8700 and, as of today I now have a 1080.

 

After I installed the 1080, my CPU went from 68c max to 87c under max load. The 1080 also has the slight issue of touching the plastic window, so I had to remove my front panel and angle it to at least try to keep dust out.

 

I have been looking around but I just cant find what I am looking for. I really want a case that lays on its side because I am a very, jumpy? person, not sure how to put it, but I shake my desk a lot when I do stuff and I have a fear of knocking over my pc.

 

My motherboard is an ASRock H310M-DGS, so its Micro ATX if that helps with finding one.

 

I have some images to show just how big the 1080 is compared to my case.

 

EDIT: also one with better cable management than this case... 1/4 inch is not enough space in the back for cables and it just kills me on the inside every time I have to remove the back panel.

Would one of those have enough room for the 1080 with out it touching the side wall?

 

EDIT: never mind, the link finally worked for me, internet is derping. How the hell did i miss these cases when i was looking?

Must it be a cube? 

I've been building pc for a part-time job lately (about 1month), and been doing alot of builds in the fractal design meshify C mini a lot. 

It's classy, high air flow, and has very good cable management.

If you need the case for  custom water cooling go for the h400

The mini edition is meant for matx/mini itx,

I could care less about the shape of it as long as it wont tip off my desk when It moves.

I am mainly looking for air cooling because i would forget to change the liquid in the system.

I see I guess the cube form dose give you more stability the air 240 will do nicely but if you can put it on the ground or on a stable surface the meshify c mini will the best choice
