Ok, What's a good board that won't waste space in the case?

Honestly, the motherboard you have is fine. A larger board will either A) cost more or B) Have less features (assuming same price). Either way you still wouldn't solve the issue as then most of the motherboard would be unused Is there a smaller version of that case?

Let's be honest, everything in that build is overkill for what he's doing

Well yeah, that's the point I think a lot of us have tried making, I just gave a more detailed example

No I think it only comes in that size I would like a case with a HDD hot swap dock so if anyone's knows of others then I will look at them.

I've found this one Thermaltake New Soprano USB 3.0 Case [VO900M1N2N] - $149.00 : PC Case Gear from Thermaltake and this one http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_1081&products_id=18313 from Thermaltake.

Those could work, but still look bigger than needed. WHy does the case need the docking station? why not something like this? Amazon.com : Thermaltake BlacX eSATA USB Docking Station : Laptop Computer Docking Stations : Electronics

Yeah I've been thinking about that lately but I would like one with IDE as well like this one 2 5 3 5" IDE Sata USB 2 0 Dual HDD Hard Drive Disk Dock Docking Station OTB WIN7 | eBay, I think I might go for a case without the HDD dock then..

cool I found the same exact system on that website for 1800 so I saved plenty

I am not going to get a card like the 770 or 780 if I am not going to take advantage of what it has to offer so I am going for a card like the 660 and I don't do intense gaming.

I seen 1440p monitors for around $370.00 that would be good for gtx770 right?

So far BK it doesn't seem like you will even "take advantage" of the 660. Not for browsing facebook and playing the Sims...
