Hmmm pretty tough question and i dont want to get this wrong and have your PC blow up on my account lol. My PC has similar specs to yours and I currently use Antec Cube Mini ITX case. Not once has it ever overheated so I think you should probably get the same just to be on the safe side. I don't know your budget so I couldn't answer as accurately as i would've liked!
 
- What is your budget?

- Any color preferences?

- Do you want RGB case lighting?

- How about a side window or tempered glass?

- Do you need an optical drive bay?

- What about sound dampening? This rules out side windows if you want good sound dampening.

I'll list some nice cases. Most are available in multiple colors. Some can be found for less on PCPartpicker.com. I went with Newegg for links as they provide detailed specs and nice pictures.
NZXT S340 (also available in a tempered glass version)
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146198
NZXT H440 (quiet fans, much more room than s340)
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146217
NZXT Phantom 410 Series (has optical bays)
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146087
Phanteks P400s (case lighting is RGB so ignore the light color in the picture you can choose the color you want, also available in a tempered glass version, the P400 uses faster but louder fans)
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811854053
Be Quiet! Pure Base 600 (has sound dampening, quiet fans and optical bay)
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA68V57M5138
Corsair Spec-03 (more basic option, good airflow)
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139040

If you want something compact
In Win 301 (does not include fans, they need to be bought separately)

Fans Arctic F12 5 pack. Excellent quality value fans. Case will have stellar air flow.

There are 50 cases that can meet your needs. I like the Phanteks models, this is my case https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811854037

Has a rebate on it now. Good size, has a separate power supply area, clean lines.
