Hello, i currently have a powerspec B678 motherboard which I believe to have an H77 chipset, but I am not sure. I am also using an i5 3330 3.0 Gz Processor, and I am going to be putting all my parts from the powerspec computer into a corsair 200r. I was thinking about upgrading the motherboard to atx, but I realized that they had different chipsets. will it still be compatible? Here is the motherboard I am planning on- http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-P8Z77-V-LX-Intel-Motherboard/dp/B007MKGF82/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1387415529&sr=1-1&keywords=asus+motherboards. Also, can you also explain how this chipset thing works? I know how sockets like lga 1155 work, but i don't know about chipsets.
