Hey guys, so I was thinking of upgrading my PC parts. Toe be exact, I was looking tp upgrade my CPU, motherboard and possibly my PC Case. My current hardware is:

CPU: Intel i5 2500K @ 3.30GHz
MotherBoard: Asus P8Z68-V LE
Graphics Cards: Sapphire AMD R9 270X Dual X (Over Clock Edition)
RAM: 16GB PC3-10666 1333MHz DDR3 Memory
PSU: EZCool Basic 650W PSU

Firstly, I was looking at getting the Asus Z-87 PRO Motherboard. It looks promising and can support 2 Graphics Cards if needs be.

Secondly, I was looking at the AMD FX-8350 CPU @ 4.00GHz.

Thirdly, I was thinking of getting a Cube case, like one of these: http://www.endpcnoise.com/cgi-bin/e/quiet_cube.html

A) Will that Motherboard support that AMD CPU?

B: Will that Case support both that motherboard and AMD CPU?

C: If not that PC Case, what PC case would support the above Hardware (including new/old)


Thank you all very much for your support.
 
well i can see why you want to upgrade because you have a nice rig up to now...
a z87 motherboard is for intel 1150 haswell cpu , do not mix togeter
if you want a mini cube setup ... now you nedd to change for a mini itx motherboard or if possible a micro itx mobo
what do you want to do with your rig??? hard core gaming or basic gaming??? video editing..??

I wouldn't recommend an upgrade, you already have a great system for gaming at 1080p, Tom's even run many GPU benchmarks on the i5-2500k overclocked. Get an aftermarket cooler instead and overclock your CPU if you want to squeeze more performance out of it.
