Hi all, I'm going to downsize my pc to a m-atx build because of some space constrain. I need a recommendation for a new case that is able to fit my current parts. The motherboard and case is the only thing I'm changing.

Soon-to-buy m-atx board
Intel i5 with cooler Master hyper 212 evo
Powercolor turboduo r9 280x
4 ram sticks 2x2 & 2x4
1 wireless pci card
Extra 2 corsair af-120 fans
Only 1 ssd. No hdd.

Case budget $200
Thanks for the advice guys :)

If getting arc mini r2, might as well get arc midi r2. Slightly bigger which can accomodate atx mobo and has slightly more space. Prise wise, its only $139, $10 more ex than mini.

450D quite big in dimensions.

U can consider bitfenix prodigy M.

Woo thanks guys for the recommendations. I'll go take a look :D
But it's not about the price for me. More about the size. Keep the suggestions comming!
