Help with moving to smaller case w/ current parts
Posted by varram1@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 2 comments
Hi guys!
So In the very near future it seems as if I'm going to be moving alot and am considering moving my pc into a smaller case to make it easier to move. (most likely thinking about Mini-ITX)
For now I know my mother board and case 100% needs to be replaced but am wondering how much of the other stuff I could keep
Current specs:
CPU: AMD 7900x3d
RAM: T-force 64 gigs
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4090 (the `gaming OC` one)
AIO: nzxt kraken 2023 360mm
PSU: nzxt 1000w (I cant remember the exact model but the cables are not directly visible and are inside of breaded material)
Current CASE: Montech King 95 pro
Any ideas or recommendations as to what case I should move to, What parts I need to replace and what to get instead?
Literally any help will be really appreciated :)
P.S.
I am based in the U.S. and in terms of budget I'd like to do this pretty cheaply and not over-splurge yk?.

If you want a slight downsize then you could consider a compact ATX case, like the new Cooker Master Qube 540, which also has handles to help with portability. It'll mean not having to buy a new motherboard as well.
The case can have 2x fans in the base as intake and one in the front in the bottom half as intake as well, with the PSU above it. I did a build like that in the predecessor to this case, the Qube 500 Flatpack. My build had my 3090 in it and the temps were absolutely fine. The case also supports 360mm AIOs up top, so your current one will work, though you could swap it for a 240mm to have a less crowded build.

You need to find a case that will support your gpu 4090 is a 3/4 slot card … definitely not many small Cases supporting a 360mm aio , you will need a itx mobo or micro ATX and a cooling solution 240 or 280 aio also I will assume your psu is a atx not a sfx or sfx L …
JONSBO D31 MESH BLACK Take a look at this case it’s says it supports 360mm aio and your current PSU so you would just need the motherboard
