Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy an affordable gaming motherboard. I have one in mind already and also a case to go with it.

Motherboard:

Case:

If anyone else could give me an even better option.
Also, if anyone knows how to transfer a cpu to another cpu, I would really appreciate the help.

Go with a low budget Corsair case like the Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-02 or SPEC-03. They are the easiest to work and best quality. They are also tool less design, have ssd hard drive cages, and dual radiator capability. They also come with great cooling fans made by corsair. As a matter of fact, Fry's carries it also.

It was a typo, heheh. I meant to transfer a cpu from a motherboard to another motherboard. I heard that you can transfer an intel cpu to an intel motherboard.

Also another quick question, most of these cases don't come with a power supply, that means I have to supply my own right? If so, I'd also like to look into a power supply.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm on a tight budget and I'm not looking for a god-like power supply
I think this one would do well. Tell me what you think.

For 200 you could get:
A better gpu, a better psu, a decent mechanical keyboard and gaming mice, a good headset, an ssd...
Getting a new motherboard for that rig if you already have one just seems like a waste of money to me

Here's the problem guys my motherboard doesn't work with any other tower..
Damn, I misread the cpu and motherboard...
I just realized now they have different sockets, if you guys have a better build please suggest it to me.
