I need a CPU MOBO combo for a home office computer. I would prefer Intel.

Gigabyte H87M-D3H + i3-4130

Or, you could just get the AM1 platform for $100 which would be the APU and a Mobo; more than enough for a good office PC right there.

This look good? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3rnlv
I already have peripherals and the case.

And I have a 212 EVO I'm going to put on it when I get my Kraken x60 for my gaming build.

Yup, it looks pretty good! Happy building. Just a side note, make sure the mobo will support 1.5V ram. I'm like 99% sure it does, but it's always good to check.

I think you will enjoy this system better, thanks to the SSD. Also the ram you picked might have clearance issues with the 212 evo. My old ripjaws barely worked with my 212 plus.

Okay. It appears my old case is a BTX model. So it is out the window. Can you guys give me a good case recommendation?

Corsair 200r is a good case for the money.
