I'm currently looking into building a newish PC due to my old one failing me by the motherboard not allowing me to fit in a Radeon R9 280x. So I want to salvage as many parts as possible of this computer...

This is my current. Everything exactly nothing changed. I don't want to spend to much so keeping as many parts as possible would be nice. If I am wrong about my current PC fitting this graphics card then someone speak up and save me money! :D.

Anyhow I want to keep my i7 CPU and hard drive and any parts possible.

I assume a new motherboard would need a better case and which also would allow the R9 280x to fit actually within the case. So the case I plan on buying is..

Now that's all out of the way. I need a motherboard, hopefully something cheap but effective as I am a uni student so I'm poor.

Thanks in advance, sorry for the long post.

Use your old CPU, stock cooler, HDD, the R9 280x, and get the Corsair 300R (the case you linked). Don't use your old PSU as it might be a bad one.

Yeah. Forgot to mention about knowing I need a above 500w PSU. Sorry guys.


So this board should be fine that I currently have? I pictured the 280x bumping into things on the board when I look at it. Though I havent gotten my GC yet still waiting for it to arrive.

Perfectly fine. Many boards have issues with SATA cables, but yours are far enough down that the cooler won't run into them.

One of these is currently the best deal for PSUs in Aus: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550gts3x

Case is usually a personal choice, but you could save ~$40 over the Corsair and get one of these: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-case-nsk4100

You'd need one of these adapters to make the front USB3.0 ports work (only at 2.0 speeds, though), as your board doesn't have 3.0 support: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/15cm-USB-3-0-20-Pin-Header-Male-to-USB-2-0-9-Pin-Female-Adapter-Cable-Cord-/111207651847?pt=UK_Computing_USB_Cables&hash=item19e47e1a07
