Hi, I want to upgrade my PC; specifically, I want to upgrade my CPU from an AMD FX-4130 to an Intel Core i5-8400 (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-8400-Desktop-Processor-BX80684i58400/dp/B0759FGJ3Q) and my GPU from Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 to a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 (https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Windforce-Graphics-GV-N1060WF2OC-3GD/dp/B01KQUDE2Y). However, I'm wondering what type of motherboard I would need to purchase that fits in my case and would be compatible with the two parts.
I bought a pre-built computer years ago and I've been using the same case (https://www.amazon.com/CybertronPC-Borg-Q-Gaming-Desktop-Discontinued/dp/B00GFG1B1A) and the motherboard that came with it (GA-78LMT-USB3 (Socket M2) motherboard). For reference (if needed), the case is 19.5 x 7.8 x 17.5 inches and the motherboard is a micro ATX type and 9.6 x 9.6 inches.
Also, my PSU is 650 watts, in case this is needed too.
Basically, I'm wondering what type of motherboard I should purchase. Suggestions concerning anything else I typed are welcomed and I apologize if this ends up being a dumb and/or vague question.
