Hello, I am new to the forum and would like to start off with a big question. I have a custom made rig from ibuypower and would like to swap to a smaller case. I have no issues replacing certain items, but wanted to try to keep as much as possible. I have built a few rigs before, but it has been awhile, so I wanted to get some advice from the community.
My main question is how to determine if my components will fit in the new case. I currently have a full size tower, but wanted to go to a mid or mini ATX. I know these both take the standard ATX form factor, but was concerned with clearance and air flow. Is there an easy way to determine this? See below for my specs and if you have any suggestions please let me know, thanks!
1 x Case (CoolerMaster HAF 922 Gaming Case - Killer Bee))
1 x Processor (AMD FX-6100 CPU (6x 3.30GHz/6MB L2 Cache)))
1 x Motherboard (ASUS M5A97 -- AMD 970))
1 x Memory (16 GB [4 GB X4] DDR3-1600 Memory Module - G.Skill Ripjaws X))
1 x Video Card (AMD Radeon HD 7950 - 3GB - Single Card))
1 x Power Supply (750 Watt - Thermaltake TR2 TRX-750M - Free Upgrade to 850 Watt
1 x Processor Cooling (Liquid CPU Cooling System [AMD] - Standard 120mm Fan))
1 x Primary Hard Drive Corsair SSD 128 GB
1 x Storage Hard Drive (1 TB HARD DRIVE -- 32M Cache, 7200 RPM, 6.0Gb/s - Single Drive))
1 x Optical Drive (24X Sony Dual Format/Double Layer DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW Drive - Black))
1 x Sound Card (Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio))
