Which case you looking at? The NZXT S340 is a mid tower case and will fit a Hyper 212 Evo, It's not small at all.

Although yes, the S340 doesn't support DVD drives.

Is a bit smaller that the usual case, from their web:

Compact form factor coming in two inches below competing mid towers

Also, the clearances are not huge:

GPU Clearance Without Radiator: 364mm
CPU Cooler: 161mm
Cable Management: Lowest Point - 17mm; Highest Point 168mm

The S340 would already be good. But look into the Cryorig H7 instead of the Hyper 212 Evo, It's even better.

Also, this is a new release from Phanteks, the P400 Case. Perhaps you'd like that one more:

And finally, you've selected Haswell LGA 1150 socket components. However there are some clear benefits if you choose Skylake, take a look at this combo of CPU, motherboard and memory that will show up to 20% difference (In applications that optimally support both CPU and RAM overclocking)

It's Skylake, for me that it already better. supports SLI, and DDR4-3000+ memory. Two GTX 970's will fit in a S340, you'll have enough pictures of them on Google and more setups on Youtube.

By the way, the S340 is exceptional. Quite a bit better than most cases in this price range. Better then Zalman Z11.

I don't use optical drives, so far I didn't need them. A lot of modern cases don't equip optical drives because media is getting popular digitally. Games, music and apps all can be downloaded digitally. You can always get an external USB DVD drive if you wanted.
