Hey guys, I plan to transfer my rig into a smaller PC case that's more compact so that it allows for more space in my room as well as easier to bring around.

My current rig is:
- i7 4700
- Asus H87 Plus
- CM Seidon 120XL
- Apacer 8GB
- WD 1TB
- Crucial SSD 512GB
- Radeon R9 270X
- CM G700W

I'm taking a look at the Thermaltake Core V1 now as it can support 200mm PSUs as well as watercooling. What do you think?

Any other recmomendations?

Are you sure R9 270X is longer than this card?

Highlighted items require normal case, both for their dimensions and cooling purpose. To miniaturize, you need to re-think the concept of small PCs. To really shrink down, it's advisable to sell off the ATX mobo and graphics card, and replace them with ITX board and lesser power hungry graphics card. Either that, or find the smallest ATX casing in the market. I'd recommend this .

Hmmm alright.. What do you think I should replace my graphic card and motherboard with?

Any specific graphic card recommendation that is less than 22cm, but at the same time as good as or better than the R9 270X?

Btw is the leap to a mini itx worth it?

There are so many.

GALAX and ASUS for example, have ITX models that are short and powerful.

I also used a Seidon 120V plus on it, much better air flow compared to CM120.
