Hello there!

For 6 years now i have a system which has the following:
Mobo= Asus rampage ii extreme
CPU= Intel core i7 920 @ 2.67 Ghz
Case = Antec 1200
My GPU is an asus oc 670
and my power supply is Corsair HX1000w.

I am looking to get a similar/better motherboard and a new cpu as well as a new case.
The reason for it is that the Antec 1200 is a really big case and i would like something
smaller , more quiet , and i think that i need to replace my Asus rampage ii extreme because it is really big to fit into a smaller Chasis.

Feel free to advise me , as far as budget goes,can you suggest me similar (performance wise) mobos and a good CPU to go with that and a chassis with the least ammount of money?

THANKS!

Why not try the mATX form factor. Take a look at the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 case, its a very nice looking case.
mATX motherboards have come a long way and so now come with almost all the features of full-sized ATX boards.
I'm a fan of the good value Asus Z87 Gryphon but the Asus Maximus IV Gene is as top-end as the come.

CPU-wise you could go for an i5 4670K for gaming and other CPU-intensive tasks unless you need the extra threads (hyperthreading) of an i7 4770K.
Replacing stock fans with Noctua fans will also make your system more quiet.
