Any chance you live relatively near a Microcenter location? For $179.99+tax you could get a i5-4670K instead of the i5 listed in your link.

Yep, the case and motherboard aren't compatible you need to go Mini-ITX or MicroATX.

Oh wow thanks for catching that, and I dont think so, but anyone know of a case that's easy too work with and well built? Price doesn't matter for the case

amex11 · Mar 5, 2014

And where can I get that i5 from? If I did.

AMD Radeon · Mar 5, 2014

the miniITX case i put above is a very popular one
easy to build and as small as this

amex11 · Mar 5, 2014

Okay, thanks for that, Can I water cool with that case? Or would that cramp things up

amex11 · Mar 5, 2014

And do you know of anybuilds with that case for around 800? Is there a site where I can find such?

AMD Radeon · Mar 5, 2014

^ i already posted the build in the top post, $795

amex11 · Mar 5, 2014

So bummed that the case wont work, friend has one, seems like such a solid case

amex11 :

Then change the motherboard to one that will work with that case.
