the case iam looking at is -
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119265
(open to other case ideas)

seems like it might have enough room.

I wanna try to get a Intel Core i5-3570K and a GTX660 to fit.
no need for a solid state drive, no need for more then 500 GB hd.

Mostly looking for idea's on building in a smaller case used a large tower in my last build so space wasent an issue. budget wise i would like it under $1,000

ps. games mostly just mmo's just wanna play high or max 30+ fps

First off that is an ATX case and ATX is the normal full sized board. Anything shy of larger cpu coolers even fit in that case.

That case is not small at all.

You may be looking for a mATX case(4 expansion slots).

Or even go mITX(1 expansion slot, but many users use a mDTX case with 2 slots so they can fit a 2 slot video card) if you want it small. You need a low profile cooler(or stick with stock) with this kind of case.
COOLER MASTER Elite 120

Silverstone also has a small case the SG05, but remember you have to build careful in smaller systems.

Small and not deep either. Its a cram to fit all the hardware.
