Hello, im planning to buy a gtx 670 and a i5-3570k to put in my itx case.

my current motherboard is an Asus P8H61-I LX R2.0 (itx board) which I want to use in my new build to spare some cash, question is.
Will it decrease the overall performance in anyway? as it is a cheap board (if i remember correclty),or if there is any known heat problems or issues with it etc.

other specs inside is an corsair hx550 psu and 8gb 1600mhz ram (wich the bios is currently forcing to run at 1333mhz for some reason) + 2 120gb ssd's raid 0.

also, can i fit some kind of cpu water cooling inside my coolermaster elite 120 case?

best regards, Augi.

ps: pardon my bad english (norwegian)
 
Should be fine and a GTX 670 will work great for you. There is not alot of difference between the two and they both are based on the same silicon. Plus from what I can tell the GTX 760 is more in line with a GTX 660ti than a GTX 670. So if you are going with a GTX 6xx card get the GTX 670 I can tell you it is a great card I have a SLI GTX 670 setup and it has been great have had it since January and no problems so far.
