Hello, I’m looking to get an intel xeon e5 2670 with 2.6 ghz and 8 core. Since I have never built a pc before, I am kind of confused on a few things; especially when it comes to motherboard compatibility.

My pc was custom built by someone else and I bought it from them so I’m keeping the other parts in it (removing the i5 2500k and old mobo).

Question one: What motherboards are compatible with the xeon e5 2670 cpu and ddr3 ecc ram? (This is the ecc ram i currently have)

Question 2: Will I still be able to use my current nzxt s340 pc case? I am
Worried about the motherboard being too big (it’s a midtower that supports ATX, microATX, Mini‑ATX motherboards.

Thanks.
