Hi guys. I was hoping you can help with this one. I want to put the innards of my slightly ageing mid tower gaming PC into a smaller case, preferably a cube type, but this isn't essential. I have a reference 6950 which shouldn't be too much of a problem but I would rather keep my current psu which is a corsair HX850 and is 180mm long.

I have a sandybridge set up with a 2500k and 4x4gb of 1600mhz ripjaws ram. I would like to overclock the CPU but probably not the GPU.

Is there a case and mobo combo out there for me?

Thanks in advance.

Are you looking to go mATX or mini ITX? There are cases out there that will fit a full size PSU, like the Corsair 250D, this is mini ITX so you'd just have the one pci-e slot for your gpu, and m-ITX boards only have 2 RAM slots so you'd need to either drop down to 8GB or buy new RAM.
 
To be honest I've no idea whether micro atx or mini itx is the way to go. 1 PCI express slot isn't a problem., neither is dropping to 8gb. White would be nice.
