Compact pc downgrade. need help!!!!

HenryyRoberts · Sep 20, 2014

Hi again,

my situation is that i need to go to a LAN event in November and my mid-tower is going to be too big for me to transport it. I have a Zalman z9 plus. I'm looking for a compact case that's easier to transport but that will hold these:

AMD FX-8350 (with a single 120 coolermaster Seidon)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 Kfa2 edition
Corsair CX600M
Mushkin Redline 8gb 1866Mhz (2x4gb config)
WD Blue Caviar 7200rpm 1TB
and a disk generic disk drive

The reason why i haven't stated that i have an Asus m5a97 R2.0 is because i understand that i will have to buy smaller mobo to cater for the case, suggestions on which would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I got you a corsair cube case that is great and compact in getting the job done and a ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLus mobo that supports your hardware and supports your CPU. It's only CFX support [strike]so if you want a SLI board I can look for one.[/strike]

Unfortunately i cannot find a board that supports SLI that is FX and MicroAtx... sorry man.

Newbbuilder11 :

don't worry about SLI bro my graphics card is way too over priced for me to buy a second when i could just sell it and get a 1/3 more performance for about £100 more, i'm still torn for a case though more suggestions for that would be cool if you can.

***Also i need help for where to buy the mobo as i live in teh UK not america

I think i will settle with this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-M5A78L-M-USB3-Motherboard-Socket/dp/B0054U7HIO/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1411329704&sr=1-2&keywords=Fx+am3%2B+motherboard#productDetails

I wouldn't go with that Xigmatek case. I'd rather go with Newbbuilder11's parts.

sora :

is there any particular reason?

i am not going to get it of eBay any more, instead casking.de, you have to remember I'm not in the US. its easier for me to get something shipped from Germany. http://www.caseking.de/shop/catalog/Cases/Xigmatek/Aquila-Series/Xigmatek-Aquila-Micro-ATX-Gehaeuse-schwarz-Window::25128.html
