Hey guys, Eli here.
Just before I get started, here's my current (full) build that I'm running now: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Rampart/saved/29ap
Or for the lazy:
i5 2500k (no OC) CPU
Gigabyte GTX 670 (OC) GPU
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Coolermaster HAF 922 Case
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
Cooler Master Silent Pro M 700W 80 PLUS Power Supply
Now, my plan right now is to swap out my ATX mobo for a micro-ATX board, and get the new Bitfenix Prodigy M case (quite smaller than my current case).
Here's the mobo: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Computer-Corp-Motherboards-Z77MA-G45/dp/B007QWIA9S
It has everything I need (plenty of USB ports, enough space for my GPU and wifi card together, etc.)
And here's the case: http://us.ncix.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=88881&vpn=BFC-PRM-300-KKXSK-RP&manufacture=BitFenix&promoid=1413
My only worry is that 1. my CPU cooler is too tall for the case, 2. my GPU is too long, and 3. my PSU won't fit in the case. Will I need a smaller, modular PSU for the Prodigy M?
EDIT: just did some looking around, and it looks like the case fits normal sized PSUs, and that my CPU cooler is short enough. If I'm wrong on either of those, please let me know.
Thanks!
