Hi there, basically i recently bought a new case for my PC looking to upgrade its power supply and things but things did not go as expected, it appeared DELL micro-motherboards were designed differently then stock micro-atx so the board did not fit in this case - this case would fit normal micro-atx boards but not my Dell ones.
My specs are:
Dell optiplex 740 - desktop version
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000B @ 2.6ghz OC'd to 3.0 through software
4GB DDR2 RAM (2x1gb)
250GB HDD
280W PSU however my new case has a 500W PSU already with it.
what i need is a new motherboard that enables me to keep my processor yet be prepared for the future (Phenom perhaps) whilst still be able to use my RAM and HDD/DVD drive along with it.
i was thinking of getting this but thats about my budget, i dont have much to spend

I need help fast so thank you for your replies (if any)
