Hi community,

I'm in the process of building a new PC but it needs to be as small as possible as it is likely I will be moving it around and taking it to university. The problem is I own a non-modular ATX PSU (EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply) and a fairly large graphics card (GTX 770) so I'm looking for a case that will accommodate them without being a pain to setup and install. Ideally I am willing to spend up to £50, but that budget isn't set in stone and could increase so any suggests are welcome. Because I have a non-modular PSU the case should have a largely efficient method my managing cables.

Many thanks

I am assuming you have everything and just want a new case. What are your full specs? Need to know motherboard size, amount of hard drives, etc.

Thanks for the response, I haven't quite got everything since the motherboard I intended to use was faulty upon arrival, but to give you a brief outline:
Intel Pentium g3258 (this is only temporary since I already own it - upgrading to i5 4690K soon)
GTX 770
EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze
1 x 1TB 3.5 inch HDD
Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB RAM
1 x Optical drive

So really its the motherboard and case I am researching.

Out of curiousity, did you come to any difficulties in terms of space while building?

many thanks

If you are looking for something very small, The Silverstone RVZ01 would make a great choice. It is slightly larger than an Xbox, making it great for travel. It is designed to fit a full sized graphics card. Down side is that you will need to buy an SFX power supply and will be limited to mini-ITX motherboard options.

And a video, to give you an idea of how the build process will go with this case - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlRHca2qrHM

A few other good options would be the Bitfenix Prodigy, Bitfenix Aegis, Corsair 380T, Thermaltake core V1.

Sorry for the late response. None actually, I currently have a GTX 980 ti in there on a mini ATX mobo and you can take some of the Cages off of the case for even more room. The only gripe I have against it is that you cant put fans on the side and only one back fan that Im using as an exhaust. Even so, my gpu is only hitting 70~C while playing the Witcher 3 on maxed settings so the cooling in it is great.
