Help needed regarding new build!

I have nh d15 and I'm going for compact build
I was previously thinking to go for bitfenix prodigy M case, however,
i really do not know if NH D15 will fit in the case
GPU is also very long (zotac extreme 980ti)
I only use 1 HDD and 2 SSD-s
SO i really don't mind if i'm going to lose some hdd brackets
I was doing measurements and it seems it can fit in however it depends about MBO positioning

Can you tell me some good/decent motherboard mATX 2011v3 x99?
Thank you in advance

my configuration is 5820k
8gb x2 ddr4
980 ti Zotac Extreme
as cpu cooler i would like to use my old nh d15
 
Solution
In practical terms, you cannot do what you want.

To build a 'compact' system requires a mATX or mITX motherboard. On all x99 boards, that cooler blocks the first PCIe 16 slot you would use with your GPU. If you swapped it for the NH D15S, you would have more options. (I use the NH D15S on my mATX overclocking computer for just that reason.)
