Dear community,

I am looking to rebuild to a small chassis gaming pc for my apartment.

What chassis would you recommend for a small/compact/micro build.

Also what components would have to be changed out or aren't compatible/recommended.

Im not looking to have a top of the line system. Just want to be getting the most out of the time I spend gaming.

As always your input and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my current setup,

My mini-ITX system fits in a Silverstone ML07 HTPC case (the same guts as the RVZ01) with an i5 4590, and a GTX970 planned.

Now we can link to your stuff, we can offer advice.

It's an ATX board so that will limit small case choices so you will need a new one, and I see that you are buying from Australian sources.

There are a few mini-ITXs with 1155 sockets.

Mini-ITX has room for only one full slot for a graphics card and you have an ATX power supply. There are a decent number of ITX tower and HTPC cases that will hold your power supply, a new mini-ITX board, and one big graphics card, although you may want to look at the newer GTX970 and GTX980.
