Hi there.

I was looking to build the smallest gaming pc with the size to fit even a gtx780/TITAN in it. I don't plan on buying this soon. I might not even add a 780 but will give me just an idea of what I can be looking for. This is what I don't need.

RAM
PSU (already have AX850w)
HDD(2xHDD and 1xSSD)

I need everything else. I was thinking of going Corsair H80i or H100i depends if case can fit it. this is what i have in mind and forget about budget for now. help me go cheap as possible but don't compromise the GPU.

i5-4670k
Asus maximum VI impact or when/if it comes available the EVGA z87 stinger.
Geforce GTX780

Things that it must have is good audio as I'm running sennheiser HD598. depends on price but the z87 stinger comes with sound blaster sound core 3d. So what is the smallest case that can accommodate it that I can find locally now or soon. bare in mind even a 1155 socket motherboard might be enough if it comes with the right audio onboard.

Well if you want good audio from On board you'll have to skip 1155 and go for 1150.
As far as locally available small cases, there aren't many that will fit a GTX780.
Bitfenix Prodigy, CM Elite 420, Silverstone sugo SG08 are the only ones that come to mind that'll fit a GTX780 and even then it'll be a tight fit.

I know EVGA are working on a new mini itx chassis that will be able to take a 780.

Impact will be in SA in November, You might be able to pick one up at Rage though.

AX850 will be a really tight fit in a M Itx Chassis, You'll have to do some modding or forcefully bend the modular cables to the right angle.

If you need any help or advice please drop me a pm.
 
You can try making a custom case.

See if you can get a large expanding fan for the front and back (it's alike a compressor in reverse)

It takes a bit of space though.
 
Yeah, making a case is probably best in this case. Especially if your trying to make the "smallest gaming pc ever". Post pics if you do :D
 
something like this. I don't want to build a case myself. That prodigy looks amazing though


That EVGA case have 1 limitation and that's the 500w PSU.

Have you checked the Prodigy M though? It is an improved version of the Prodigy, but it isn't out yet.
