Hi guys,
I'm planning to reduce the size of of casing as I find it too bulky. The main aim is just for casual use, not much gaming/upgrade intended. The current specs i have is;
i5-4430 Asrock B85M-HDS 8GB G.Skill Value Ram 120GB Crucial M500 SSD 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD Zotac GTX 760 AMP! Edition LG DVD RW 24x Rosewill Hive 750M Bronze 80+ (Modular) CM Storm Scout II
I'll re-use whatever I can. I'm concerned about the size of graphics card fitting and also the size of of PSU in the smaller case. Is Bitfenix prodigy any good? Feel free to advice me on anything or your preference build.
Thanks!!!

1st of all you need to change your motherboard since its not itx size
2nd of all since you only have 1x ssd and 1x hdd so need to remove the removeable 3.5" hdd bay. so can fit in your GPU
and 3rd normal size psu should fit no problem(not very sure bout this)

If you don't mind shoe box style casing, the CM Elite 130 can also accodate all above except for of course the mobo.
