Hello, am planning to put my old pc in the front room.

But I need a new case and I need it to have where it has a wife approval.

 

Am thinking of small and pure mat black, no side windows. I prefer it to Faver slient over airflow.

 

All I be using the system for is VR.

 

FormFactor of my motherboard

  • ATX Form Factor 
    12 inch x 9.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm )
My CPU cooler is h80i
My GPU asus gtx 1080 strix
 
 
Thank you all for your help and time.

I have a sg13b which fits a full power supply but is limited to the gpu size - I have a rx 580 which barely fits.

As mentioned above, that gpu will probably be too big for a small case.

Pcpartpicker is a useful website, if you fill in your hardware it will filter cases that will fit and inform you if there is any restrictions

I wouldn't recommend putting an Asus GTX 1080 Strix in a small case where it will choke, but if you have no other option: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147262

 

The case supports 300mm max GPU length, and your GPU is 298mm. It will be a really tight fit.

I just realized your motherboard is ATX. Yeah, you are not gonna be able to find a small case for that thing.

I always love an excuse for an sg13. @haloharry97 should get a new, tiny motherboard to make it work lol

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

I would recommend the Fractal Design Define C.

It's one of the more compact ATX cases that still has good features and build quality.
