Looking for Custom build advice please (its been a very long time). I have an idea of the parts I want, but can not find a good Mobo replacement that suits my case with my current PSU (the PSU is only about a year old).
First my current specs (Green keeping and Red replacing):
CPU: Intel Core i5 750 @ 2.67GH (Lynnfield 45nm Technology)
RAM: 12.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 530MHz (7-7-7-20)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. P55-US3L (Socket 1156)
Form Factor Micro ATX (although some people seem to question this). Width: 30.5cm Depth: 19.0cm
GPU: 1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 5700 Series C22F390 (1920x1080@60Hz)
Case: Casecom KM-6988 Black Mid Tower ATX Case with Full Black Interior/Exterior 120mm Red LED Front Fan
Storage: 931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EALS-00Z8A0 ATA Device (SATA)
298GB Western Digital WDC WD3200AAKS-00UU3A0 ATA Device (SATA)
Optical Drives: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH10LS30 ATA Device
PSU: Corsair CX550M Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Below 2 Photos. The first (the most important). Shows a very small gap between the PSU and the mobo. Cables running though a hole between.
the 2nd is reason why I want to save money on buying a new case as room is limited and need room for airflow.
- So I basically always have 4 USB slots in use (for Keyboard, Mouse, Mic and Controller).
So what it comes down to is finding a new mobo that fits without the PSU getting in the way while keeping my case. The measurements are a bit odd and depth of modern Mobo seem to be longer.
