Hello,

I want to build a new system. I'll be using i7-8700k, doing overclocking, and need to fit 1080 Ti.

The problem is that I have limited size available: width maximum 22cm, heigh 55-60cm, depth 50cm.

Would be awesome if would have usb type-c ports in front.

There's another limitation, it will be placed such that it should suck from behind, and blow to front, which is unusual as most do the oposite.

I don't care for aesthetics, leds, windows or any that stuff. I do care that it should be available to buy in Europe.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Are there really that many cases that even have a USB type-C in front?

I think you can force almost any case to do back-to-front airflow. Any dust filters will be in the wrong place, but that's not the end of the world.
There are some cases, Silverstone does one I think, where the mobo is setup with the ports at the top, this might fare better with the airflow back to front. You do however have many constraints, and you need to figure out what's important. If you run back to front and set up the HSF correctly on a normal case you might find that things run 5C hotter, it's that kind of issue that you are creating, if you can live with that then you are fine with any case.

What size? I'd like to do a z370 asus hero or something similar, so that's an atx I guess. I don't want the case to be too small, as I hate cramming up everything tightly.
