I am building a PC in an original 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System case. I want it to be a great gaming machine (so I can joke that my NES is better than a PS4, yes it's dumb). It would be awesome if I could find a board with a gtx980m built into it or find a way to add a mobile GPU to a microATX board, but alas I am having no luck. I might be able to cram a mini gtx970 into the case, but I'm worried about cooling. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can pack some powerful graphics into such a small form factor. It looks like I can get a 400w power supply in there. I appreciate all the help and advice.

You could try to drill some holes in the back for fans, or maybe if you're lucky find a board with a low profile bracket. I know that the (older) nvidia Geforce 8400gs has one, but for newer card try the 730:

Finally, for the power supply, I found this.

I hope this helps!
