So a mid tower can fit a micro motherboard?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 30, 2018

Yes it can , no problem.

You've provided a good bit of info and I appreciate that! Do you mind recommending 8GB DDR4 ram for a good price? I know that's asking a lot, considering the insane prices for ram nowadays. I found the Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 2666 MT/s but I'm not sure if that's a good pick

If you like a small build with white LED'S I like this a bit over budget.

Out of curiosity will the Ryzen 1400 work with your recommended MB

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 30, 2018

Yes it will , it's compatible.

Jerry Seinfeld · Jan 30, 2018

Now that I've summed this all up I've settled for the Ryzen 1400, the MB you suggested, the CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 8GB 3000MHz and of course my GTX 1050 ti. Will my current 450 watt Modular PSU support all of these components?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 30, 2018

As long as it's a decent 450w it will be fine.

Jerry Seinfeld · Jan 30, 2018

I'm rocking the EVGA 450 B3, 80+ BRONZE 450W 120mm hopefully this will fit the new case.

Thanks a lot for the quick responses, it's helped me so much!

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 30, 2018

Not the greatest PSU quality wise , but it will fit and will power those specs.

Jerry Seinfeld · Jan 30, 2018

Now when I swap MBs will I need a new OEM Windows license? My current motherboard is a very old ASRock MB, so I'm assuming I'll need a new license.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jan 30, 2018

No you shouldn't , just make sure your current windows 10 is tied to a Microsoft Account. That way it can be activated on the new hardware.

Jerry Seinfeld · Jan 30, 2018

Well that's a first. I've browsed through discussions saying "you'll have to do a complete reinstall of windows", or "You'll need to enter your product key since you've swapped hardware." Apparently I have a digital license for my windows key but some say that wont matter when I swap motherboards.
