I want to shrink my AM3+ system

scoobertdoo · May 22, 2014

The board I have now if very large, I need a smaller board, smaller case.
It must still fit my GTX570 card, 3, 3.5 drives, and my 950 watt psu, I also have 32GB 8x4. I could do without my blue ray drive I think. suggestions?

There aren't any good smaller boards for AM3+.

That is disappointing. Room on our yacht is limited, or damp, Hard to find room fr the media server. We need to run 4K as soon as I can get a good TV for under $600...

Intel is the only way to go with the Micro type setups.

what micro systems can do 4K currently?

For Micro ATX you're a bit limited. AM3 gets no love these days. Anyway I would go with

GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3

As for the case that's a bit harder, but this Silverstone is a good choice so long as your CPU cooler isn't too tall.

Hopefully you keep it in a well ventilated area.
