New computer motherboard sizes

timothybrey · Jan 23, 2018

I am looking to build a new computer. Here the specs I am planning to buy.
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700k
GPU: NVidia GTX 1080
RAM 20 GB DDR3
Motherboard: Asus Z170 Deluxe
Case: NZXT Source 530
My main problem is that I don't know if the Asus Z170 Deluxe will fit correctly in the NZXT Source 530. Thanks.

That's a full ATX case, so it has plenty of space to accommodate the board

a quick tip for verification would be to count the rear expansion slots. typically a full ATX case will have at least 7, matx is 4.

case has eight and motherboard needs 7 you are good to go
the case and motherboard are both ATX enjoy

1. Z170 mobo may require bios update with 6th gen CPU before it works with 7th gen 7700K.
2. Not sure how much you will pay for new i7 7700K (4c/8t) but new i7 8700K (6c/12t) can be bought for $350

3. You need DDR4 for 7700K or 8700K. Not DDR3

And how/why 20gb of ram? Makes no sense. Get 2x8gb.

R_1 · Jan 23, 2018

What is the budget and what parts do you have if any? What are your needs?
let us know that and you will get some solid build ideas.

I am keeping the pay and ram from my old computer which still a pretty nice computer, but it is a workstation so I am planning to keep it and just take the 875 watt PSU and ram. I have 2 x 2gb and 4 x 4gb ram.

J_E_D_70 · Jan 23, 2018

That’s 6 sticks of the wrong kind of ram, it will only hold 4 sticks of the right ram - DDR4.

What is the make/model of psu? That is a n odd size.
