Just put together a much needed upgrade consisting of asus b250m plus micro atx mobo, pentium g4560, single 8gb g.skill 2133 ddr4 ram (in case I decide to buy another stick later) rx460 gpu, full size atx 800w psu, 1xssd and 1x 1tb hdd. It's all currently housed in my old full size case that is great but I fancy a change. I'd like a really small matx case to stuff it all in that looks good but doesn't break the bank. Maybe a cube style would be good?
What do you recommend?

for those parts the 800 watts is well over overkill, that machine should use around 150 watts maximum, but ok, you already have it

i personally like 3 cases atm

corsair 88r

zalman z1 neo

cooler master 280 and cooler master masterboxlite 3

and

there is many other mid atx or mini atx around, i personally like those 3 but i think corsair is the best

do you have a budget in mind, perhaps one of those is perfect for you, or you need something cheaper and simpler

It would be nice to find one for about 60 pound if possible. Only using that psu because I already have it. I'd like the smallest that does the job properly without feeling cheap

Very nice case and it fits almost any air cooler. I've used a Noctua HD-14 in mine. Video card is limited to about 220mm which should be enough for RX460. uses standard ATX PSUs as well. Folds out and super easy to work on.

EDIT: My mistake this is Micro ITX... Not Micro ATX.

the cheap cases are the ones with mainboard set horizontaly, so no itx style pcs if your budget is tight

perhaps you could visit a couple of pages from case manufacturers, see what looks good to you and also do a small search on reviews and prices of the unit

i personally recoemd you corsair, that one or a 100r, it depends on how clasic or gamer you would like to have that case

Find this that I like. The only thing is, people who reviewed it mentioned that it's quite big and id like to aim for small if possible. Is there something similar that fits the bill?
