• Smallest ATX cases are:
  
• Riotoro CR1080
  
• Fractal Design Node 605
  
• Jonsbo RM1

I've always wanted to get this for a really compact system with support for a full ATX board. Haven't gotten it yet but it seems to have really good reviews. Probably one of the smallest cases you will find with support for a full size ATX board.

A lot of mid-sized towers (and specially designed compact ATX towers) support both, so I guess a large portion of it is user preference. Take for example the following compact designed case designed to fit full ATX boards:

Amazon Link

I can't really attest to the quality of this case, but just as an example, as long as you find a tower with supporting ATX board sizes, it'll work (also good to consider the size of your CPU cooler, that's why they can't get too small - in the example of this case, your current fan wouldn't get the clearance it needs, but you could go with an alternative like...

Amazon Link)

Although that might be more than you want to spend, so just check the CPU cooler clearance required in the case you get, and it should be fine!

As for the CPU, if hyperthreading isn't a big deal to you, it's totally fine - that's one of the core differences between this one and say... the i7-6700k. If you want a higher clock speed out of the box too without having to OC, that's one thing to consider. But if those aren't that important to you, I'd say your choice is a sound one (many, many people will argue for the merit of hyperthreading these days though - and I can't say they're incorrect in their reasoning). However, if you're comparing dollar-to-dollar value, invest that extra savings into your GPU.

And finally, onto your GPU, pretty solid choice. Especially if you're not considering options like the 1070 or 1080. I lean more towards GTX cards, but that's entirely my biased choice, and so I won't influence you that way. There's a number of arguments that go both ways, so I'd say for sanity sake (you could literally dig for hours on the comparisons), that you'd be safe going either route (and if DX12 is the big factor for you, AMD seems to be doing better in some games, not as good in others, and around the same in even other games, so there seems to be a LOT of variability in regards to this factor - AMD seems to be excelling better on more recent games, but it's hard to say if that will remain the trend or if it will shift).

Again, hope this was helpful :)

This question has been asked before, and I believe the answer was the Riotoro CR1080

Biggest problem is 4x RAM. All LGA 115x mini ITX board have 2 RAM slots.

A smaller ATX case may be easier solution.

Not sure if the video card fit that one.

NZXT S340 and Corsair 400c are also relatively compact and may be small enough for your need.

So if you are wanting to keep your old PC we can assume a few things... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming you have an ATX motherboard?

Assuming that's the case, we need to find you a smaller case.

The smallest ATX cases that I know are these two:

1. The Cerberus X case (I'd recommend this one)
   
   
2. Riotoro CR1080 (https://www.amazon.com/RIOTORO-Gaming-Compartment-Support-Dedicated/dp/B01D205IXS)
   
   Your next quest was about a DC power supply, those exist but not in the form factor you are used to.
   
   I'd look into something like the HD Plex (https://www.hdplex.com/hdplex-400w-hi-fi-dc-atx-power-supply-16v-24v-wide-range-voltage-input.html)
   
   Other DC to DC power supplies exist but not many at the wattage you will be needing. I hope that gets you started on your downsizing adventure.
   
   Personally if you asked me I'd say just keep the videocard and downsize to a mini-itx motherboard but I doubt you can get one for your CPU so you'd probably have to upgrade, motherboard, cpu, and ram.

You're looking at 2400Mhz RAM, but I could never get it past 1866 on this motherboard.

The waterblock is nifty looking, isn't it? It's the Deep Cool 240. Just an nice AIO. No, there isn't a fan on it.

You're in luck! The case I upgraded to is a RIOTORO CR1080. It has an inverted layout, but it's smaller than most mATX cases and... guess what... It supports full size ATX! Pain in the ass cable management though... Here is the link, though I think they've got an updated model now. https://www.amazon.com/RIOTORO-Gaming-Compartment-Support-Dedicated/dp/B01D205IXS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537811208&sr=8-1&keywords=Riotoro

I remeber seeing a video about a super small ATX case:

The only way I know to do an external GPU is through a thunderbolt 3 connector which I have not yet seen built in to a desktop motherboard. You would need something like this to get the thunderbolt 3 port and then something like this to plug into it. I assume you have a full ATX motherboard and not a micro ATX. A case like this one would probably be a good option and keep your GPU internal. Cases that size always have some restrictions though like GPU height and CPU cooler height.

All midtowers are basically the same size really. They don't really get much smaller.

The only one I can think of thats smaller is this.

I came to recommend this case too, I'm planning for a build with this case as soon as i get a chance.

Amazon Link

looks pretty basic, but the compactness of this case is very tempting.

The RioToro is a sleek as hell, small for an ATX, compartmentalized case with good cable management. One of the better cases I've built in.

What is the use of the PC?

Do you want to do the upgrade just for the purpose of having a smaller PC or do you want/need more power for gaming or work.

I don't think the difference between the 6350 and a 1300X is worth the price of CPU + MoBo + RAM + Case. For gaming, just getting a new graphics card would probably be a bigger upgrade. For CPU upgrade for gaming/work I would at least go with a 6c/12t Ryzen (R5 1600) instead of a 4c/4t, it would be much more future proof and an actual upgrade worth considering IMO.

If you just want a smaller case, there are actually some quite small full ATX cases e.g. https://www.amazon.com/RIOTORO%C2%AE-CR1080-Compartment-Support-Dedicated/dp/B01D205IXS/ref=sr_1_10?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1471210680&sr=1-10&keywords=%22full+atx%22

Yeah for full ATX you don't really have many options for small cases. You're pretty much limited to mid ATX at minimum. There was this one riotoro caseI looked at years ago that fits full ATX but I never did get one. Looks like there aren't any new available either.

https://www.amazon.com/RIOTORO%C2%AE-CR1080-Compartment-Support-Dedicated/dp/B01D205IXS/ref=sr_1_10?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1471210680&sr=1-10&keywords=%22full+atx%22

?

I think the Riotoro 1080 is the smallest overall but it's a typical mid-tower form factor rather than HTPC so I'm not sure it fits your needs.

you have an ATX motherboard so you need an ATX case. https://www.amazon.com/RIOTORO%C2%AE-CR1080-Compartment-Support-Dedicated/dp/B01D205IXS/ref=sr_1_1?tag=hardwar0d-20&ie=UTF8&qid=1470757041&sr=8-1&keywords=riotoro+CR1080

this is basically as small as it gets. check if it supports your AIO.

You may need to go mini-itx and switch motherboards. Used mobo + new ITX case could be doable for $100ish.

One that looked interesting to me is this one which still supports your ATX motherboard.

In terms of graphics cards I'd say a 1060 6gb (or a 980 if you don't mind being a lower generation- It outperforms the 1060) fit your price range well. Obviously GPUs are currently quite hard to find especially 10 series and AMDs but 980s are plentiful and will provide a very noticable difference in performance and allow you to play games at 1440p and even 4K at med settings comfrotably

This is the smallest ATX case I've seen.

Thoughts on this? https://www.amazon.com/RIOTORO®-CR1080-Compartment-Support-Dedicated/dp/B01D205IXS/ref=sr_1_10

I found this:

Well the smallest full ATX-mobo case I can find is the RIOTORO CR1080.

But there is some drawback for the size, mostly in that it can't fit a CPU cooler more than 120mm tall, or a GPU longer than 300mm or taller than 120mm as well. So it depends on what hardware you are looking to put in it.

There's also the Corsair 400C
Or the Thermaltake Core g3 (warning: although this one can take an ATX mobo, it is very slim and requires a SFX size PSU)

I am currently building a new computer and would like to take my old components and put them into as small of a case as possible, to use as a party game machine for when people are over. The main parts are and asus h97 pro and and an asus 970. I found these two cases, any opinions or other suggestions?

Riotoro

Silverstone

Possibly this one?

It's gonna be pretty hard to fit an an ATX case there. The only one I can think of that might work is the Riotoro CR-1080

Its 80 bucks, but its extremely compact for a full atx case.

This really small case looks like it will do the job since it supports ATX. It also barely fits the GTX 1070 Windforce OC (GPU is 280mm; case supports 300mm).

I just picked the Riotoro CR1080 up on ebay $40. Waiting to see how it performs, but it looks promising
