I have had a Haswell 4770k rig since 2014, going to get a new gaming rig soon and I want to convert this one into a dedicated Plex server, i7 may seem like overkill but I multi-stream and watch 4k HDR / HVEC content often, so sticking with it. Graphics card will come out and I will just use the integrated CPU gfx.
I think to do this I need a micro ATX case, compatible power supply, 1151 socket micro atx motherboard and some inexpensive CPU cooler (current one is massive)?
Fancy it being as neat, quiet and portable as possible. Will probably sit beside the tele for the rest of days.

Any suggestions on the best parts to do this as cheap as possible would be greatly appreciated
