moving from atx to itx

[fastshark09]

I'm considering to move my components into an itx case and from my previous build I could save these:

Seasonic X750

i76700K

Macho rev b.

2x8GB corsair ddr4 2133mhz cl13

Ssd samsung evo 250GB

Seagate 2TB 7200rpm

Gpu: just returned the r9 390 and I'm waiting for polaris or pascal.

What's the best itx case for this build and what would you do?

I'm looking also for a z170 itx mobo and a low profile cpu cooler. My macho rev b would be good with some cases like the phanteks evolv but I prefer a low profile solution since I'm not initially planning to overclock.
I also read the phanteks has not a good airflow and any hdd bay but I might be wrong. I'd like a system as quiet as possible.
About the Fractal define s I don't like the lack of dust filter at the top panel.

Budget?

The ITX cube cases that take ATX PSUs _and_ 2-slot GPUs aren't as small. Silverstone SG13, a couple Cooler Master Elite models (CM Elite 120 / 130, and... ? I think there's another one.) But if you really want the top of the line with room for cooling solutions (it was designed for water cooling) the nCase M1 is probably the one to get. Assuming you have money to burn.

Too expensive and maybe not available in europe. Max 100$.

What about the air 240? I could get a reference 1070 if a custom will not fit.

Corsair AIR 240 is a Micro ATX case, not ITX.

It's Dimensions (H x W x D) is 12.60" x 10.20" x 15.60"

GTX 1070 length is 10.5", should fit.

for that case would it be better a blower reference or a custom?

and is there a good air cooler for the i76700K?

The following video is about reference vs custom GTX 980Ti, not 1070, but it might help you decide.

CryoRig H7 seems good.

thanks!
may the macho rev b fit into the air 240?
I can save it from my current build.

I think I was wrong about CryoRig H7, it's too tall. (142mm)

The max height CPU cooler Corsair AIR 240 can take is 120mm according to spec
at end of web page

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/carbid...e-high-airflow-micro-atx-and-mini-itx-pc-case

so obviously your Macho Rev. b won't fit (162mm)

Better check with vendor when making your decisions.

Ask Corsair directly what it recommends for this particular case.
