So. My current build could use an change. I'm looking to get the most out of it and give Intel a shot (As I've used AMD the last few times.)

I currently have a 650w Power supply I can use again as it's been serving well unless the new stuff needs more strength. Most of the other stuff inside needs to be replaced except the HDD, but taking one with a bigger size and is clean is not out of the question right now.Would like a new, bigger case as the one I have right now is a mATX (And It's been a huge bane for me with it being so small.) SSD would be loved. Monitors and extras not needed.

Possibility for Upgrades and Add-ons (Dual Cards and the like) in the future a bonus

$1,000USD budget. Thanks for the help!

You can afford 31 extra cents right?

This build only uses around 350Ws. So you can reuse your PSU.
You'll also be able to reuse your HDD as a data drive.
This case is a mid tower, it should be fairly larger than your microatx case you had before.
A full tower would be really huge and expensive though.
This motherboard will let you add another GPU in the future if you want.
