My current rig is a modified version of the Small Form Factor Dell Optiplex GX620.

CPU: Intel Pentium D 3.40Ghz
(http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium-3-4Ghz-Fsb800Mhz-Lg...)

GPU: Saphire Radeon Hd 7750 Low Profile (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/produc...)

PSU: 275 Watts (http://www.discountelectronics.com/product?gclid=CjwKEA...)

RAM: DDR2 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...)

HardDrive: 80 GB SATA Drive

My current case: (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/ite...)

Im looking for a new motherboard, preferabably mini atx but atx is fine. I want to keep my Harddrive and GPU. I was thinking of buying this case (http://www.amazon.com/Logisys-Corp-10-Bay-Computer-CS305BK/dp/B008CDNW6G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406754020&sr=8-1&keywords=case+with+psu) or maybe (http://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-MicroATX-Computer-supply-FBM-01-450P/dp/B00G6TAAWC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1406754614&sr=8-5&keywords=case+with+psu) but the first one is cheaper. Any suggestions are welcome. Ohh and i have a budget of $300.


Thanks you in advance for your help :)

DDR3 ram is better and within your budget you can afford new ram.

I would have selected a case without PSU and add a 80+ rated PSU, but I noticed that your HDD was of very low storage capacity.
For that new build you will be only keeping the 7750, I think everything should work ok.
