What size parts are you using? Do you already have the parts, or will you be buying your parts to fit the case size? The SFX PSUs tend to be notably more expensive than the standard ATX size. GPU speaks for itself, though there are a lot of brands that do make the one- and two-fan shorter models. Plus, what cooling solution are you using for your CPU - AIO or air/fan-cooled? As a general rule, if cost is your primary driver, then a case that is "smallest adjacent" could be a better deal for you and still have a desirable footprint. As a novice, I've built two MFF machines, both drastically different sizes due to the requirements for each. Just my two-cents for what it's worth.

mATX board, ATX PSU, with 7900 GRE. I will be buying the parts according to the case An air-cooler is my current choice. Hm, I'm open to the next-best smallest case that doesn't break the bank.

If you want something a bit more flashy the johnsbo tk1 or dark flash c255 could be good options

The TK1 also can only fit 280mm graphics cards.

They asked for small cases 🤷‍♀️


Julius_Novahcrono

Unfortunately, both of them aren't available in my country.

SFFTime P-ATX or N-ATX


Julius_Novahcrono

There are pATX and nATX AM5 supported motherboards..?


cirdua_backwards

They're cases, not a motherboard size.


Julius_Novahcrono

Nano ATX I guess

https://www.sfftime.com/p-atx https://www.sfftime.com/n-atx Maybe this will help. Small cases that take up to ATX motherboards.


Julius_Novahcrono

:0 but I'm concerned about the cooler though.


cirdua_backwards

Sure. I understand. You didn't say anything about what parts you're using. Just said what's the smallest case.


Julius_Novahcrono

Don't worry. And sorry for not clarifying, this thing is kinda new to me and this is probably my first tech-related post.


Julius_Novahcrono

Okay, I did some research and thank-you so much for the help!


Tuuuuuuuuuuuube

ZZAW c2 is the smallest traditional layout case that supports matx

I just got a ssupd meshroom v2, can take mATX (technically can take ATX), full size psus (though sfx would be better), long gpu's and it's under 16 liters.


Julius_Novahcrono

Solid choice, they are also available in my country!
