Best mini case for 970 GTX

[cowmoohard]

Looking for a small case that supports
- 970GTX
- intel 4790K CPU
- Future proof X99 motherboard? perhaps Wifi ready
since I'm not sure about buying bluetooth/wifi card...
- Power supply... First time building desktop so I'm not sure which

Perhaps mid case.. I'm not sure..
All I know is I want to keep budget at 1k~1.2k

I need lots of suggestions..

Wow sweet!! I don't really know how to start, and it looks good. Hmm I got some noob questions tho... theres no wifi on motherboard so that means i need to buy wifi card also windows 8.1 right?

 

[cowmoohard]

Also... the power supply goes into the silverstone case? Sorry I'm so noob! lol

No worries mate. That board actually has wifi built in, so you're good there. And yes, the Power supply fits in the bottom of the case. Don't forget to hit that best answer button!
