Hi everyone, I am fairly new to the pc building world but I have all of my computer parts that I want. The only problem is that it is in a mini ITX case which generates so much heat to my cpu and graphics card. you can find my specs below
Asrock Z170m mini ITX motherboard
Intel core i7 6700k with turbo boost on
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC
ADATA XPG Z1 32gb ram 3000mhz
Corsair SF40 PSU
stock intel cpu cooler ( I Know Right)
When idle my cpu is at 38-41c and my graphics card is 36-44c. when gaming my cpu can get as high as 79-80c while my graphics card can reach up to 80-85c. Can anyone tell me about a nice looking case that's compatible with my components and has lots of room for case fans and possibly liquid cooling.

Picking a case is like picking out clothes for someone else... everyone has their own idea of what the ideal case is. Some like em huge... some like em small.. some like em skinny.. and some like em wide.... some even like them to be see through plastic or glass sides and fronts... Others like to have fancy LED lights from all sorts of places... At the same time.. .you have to ask yourself.. do you want a mini-itx case for these things? or perhaps a micro-atx case for more room? You also have to think about what your price range is going to be.. everyone has their own limits on what they think a case should cost, and how much they are willing to spend. Personally, i like to read reviews on cases that catch my eye.. even when i'm not planning on purchasing anytime soon. I like to read reviews on multiple websites, and at the same time... from customers on sites that sell parts... particularly, i like to read the negatives first... seeing what kind of issues people ran into when making their own builds... Look at all the pros and cons to cases you like, and go from there.

I live in the United states and am from Colorado, its a bit cold here so my ambient temperature is not high. I could spend about $100.00 to $200.00 on a case and I DO NOT want another mini itx case. I would also prefer a clear case that has room for multiple case fans and maybe liquid cooling but my question is (maybe a stupid one) can my motherboard be compatible with any type of case because I went to pc part picker and they only showed one case that wasn't a mini itx. My motherboard has two usb 3.0 ports and one 2.0 port in the front but has 6 usb 3.0 ports and various other ports in the back. I just want to make sure all my ports align in the case I do not mind if the case is a bit big I just need great airflow in it.
