Hi guys, it's been a long time.

I'm going to build a powerful Mini-ITX PC for gaming mainly on my 34" LG monitor (1440x3440) in my room and occasionally carry it to the living room to play on the 65" 4k TV, and I need your expert advice to select the best case for this computer as I have some complicated constraints.

I've already decided on the following components:

Motherboard : ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac
CPU : Intel Core i7-6700k
CPU Cooler : Corsair H80i GT 120mm Liquid CPU Cooler
Memory : G.SKILL TridentZ 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3333 (PC4 26600)
Storage : Samsung 950 Pro M.2 SSD [512 MB] + Samsung 850 Pro SSD [2 TB] x 3
GPU : Either an nVidia Titan X Pascal with an EVGA hybrid cooling solution or an EVGA GTX 1080 Ti Hybrid (if it comes out soon).
PSU : SilverStone SX700-LPT SFX-L 700 Watt Power Supply

The case should be the smallest and lightest case possible that fits all of the above components, noting that I intend to use push/pull fans on both the CPU and GPU 120mm radiators, which means that the case should allow for fitting two 120mm radiators with a total thickness (rad+fans) of 100mm each.

If I couldn't find such a case, then I'll go with the Fractal Design Define Nano S and use the Corsair H105 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler instead, but that case is too big, and I'm hoping to get something smaller.

I've truly searched a lot but couldn't find the right case.

Can you please help?
 
If you're willing to only do push, or pull you could probably fit that setup into an Ncase.

... but as I'm going with only 120mm radiators for the CPU and GPU, I really need push/pull fans to achieve the desired cooling performance for both.

Note : I've built a system for work in the ncase M1 v5 around 7 months ago, with Intel Core i7-6700K and Corsair H105 without a dedicated GPU, and that case is amazing!
