Additional Comments: I'm in college and I don't want a big overzied cybord looking case with 90000 blue leds, I want a cool, sleek, low profile case that doesn't take up much room or cause to much attention.

I only plan to play MMORPGs (WoW, SWTOR, GW2, LoL, DOTA 2), since I do most my gaming on consoles.I also don't plan on building it since I'm busy, and I'm looking to find people who build computers, OC them, and do cable management. I've built 2 computers before but the cable managment was horrible, things didn't work for a while, didn't know how to OC, and I don't feel like dealing with the stress. So if anyone knows a reputable custom computer building company who I can just ship my order too and have them build it, please list them.

Well thank you for your suggestions, but I know a lot of people who have micro atx cases and boards and haven't had a problem.

I don't like the case you picked out that much either. The case I choose has case fans that push a lot of air, according to reviews.

What? That is totally wrong, the 7770 is waaaay better than the 6870, I got benchmarks to prove it. Don't speak on things you don't understand.

Lol, I'm joking, thanks for that. For some reason my computer cant get your link to work, but I'm assuming you're talking about the Sapphire 6870?

I'll change that, thanks.

I like micro cases if everything fits but I think mid atx is best for me. I just hate full sized ATX... just too damn big lool.

Look into if the Hyper 212 will fit in your case.

It has a 180mm front fan and it uses that cooling system that has positive air pressure or something. (It may be negative, but I compared them on tomshardware, and it uses whichever air pressure cooling system thing is the best) And it has a 120 rear fan.
