'Downsizing'

[agerrard680]

Hi there,

I'm running an AMD 6000+ CPU, M2N-SLI Deluxe mobo, 4GB OCZ RAM and SLI BFG 8600GTS cards (bit rubbish I know).

I'm thinking of moving my bits to a cube pc - but didnt want to lose anything in the performance area...

Note: I'm looking at something practical like the A-Plus CS-Blockbuster BAW but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a case??

I've seen the positive reviews on Abit's NF-M2 mobo - but it’s a bit old and I didn’t want to lose performance when I downsize the mobo (I would scrap the 8600's and use a single 8800GT solution). Would there be much difference between the two motherboards in terms of gaming performance and are there any other AM2 boards that I should consider?

Comments would be appreciated!

hmm I don't know how the 8600GT scales compared with a 8800GT or GTX as for cases hmmm how about a "lanbox"

Yeah that's nice - thanks

Would you know what the best micro atx - AM2 mobo would be? Something comparable or better than the full atx 570 chipset?
