I got anItx board and a dual rad paired with a GTX 770 and i5 4670k fitted in a 250D. After building my case I completely stopped looking and following general tech releases like cases and such so I have no idea what's new on the market that much. The reason why I'm switching is as much as I like my case, the airflow ain't super. My GPU always hits 79 degreese celcius when gaming no matter what fan speed I set it to. All my fans spot are used in my case. and looking at getting a HTC vive I will probably need a better GPU so my current case won't cut it for cooling. I'm looking at something that fits everything I got (except maybe the fans, I can deal with that) and has great air cooling.
I looked into the 350D but it's mATX, how dumb would it look with a mITX case.

79C doesn't sound so bad to me, and the new GPU's are generally more efficient than the older ones. Generally, larger is cooler, so I would look at the Phanteks:

You'll have to double check to make sure that it will take your radiators.

I don't want the smallest possible case, hence why I mentionned 350D. I want the best airflow. Nano S don't lke the looks.

That phanteks one looks really promising. Now I'm worried about how the close the GPU fans are to the PSU. Can that be worse than in my 250D. Looks like it' choke.
