  1. Looks amazing and it's just what I'm looking for, but that is definitely more than I'm willing to pay right now. But as long as I know that it's a possibility, I'll keep my eyes out for a more budget version. Thank you again for the find.
  2. I Agree! Thank you for the help! I guess when I get the money for a full new build I'll go for the smaller form factor.
  3. First of all, thank you all for this tremendous support! I never would of guessed how fast I'd get help. And Second, tell you what! The new plan will be a Z87 motherboard that fits a 4770k CPU in a small format case. I'll upgrade the GPU to a GTX 1070 and worry about the old case some other day. So I'm open to both Mini-itx or Micro-atx. Even better, if you guys can help me find a small form factor ATX case, I won't need to find a new motherboard. Also would it help you guys if I gave you a list of my current parts?
  4. I'm trying to make this all work in the Silverstone Ravon version 2 case. It's thin and compact, but if you guys can find a better case in the micro ATX range, I'm open to suggestions.
  5. I know but when it comes to games, getting the new i7's doesn't help in performance. As for just upgrading the graphics card I'm not sure if my motherboard will be able to support a new 1070 without become a choke point in my build. What would I need to look for to check that?
  6. Hello LinusTechTips community, I'm currently hunting down and researching parts for an itx version of a build I already have. Back in 2013, I built my first PC and experienced many of the "first build" mistakes hundreds of New PC builders make. Including, but not limited to: buying too much ram, buying an overkill CPU, buying an overkill and overpriced power supply (shamefully just because of the RGB lighting which is extremely limited), buying a pricey motherboard for color scheme, and buying a pc case without knowing the difference between a mid-tower and a full tower. That all said, it turned out beautifully. I bought a well rounded GPU and SSD, so with all that ram, games run smooth and the pc still boot is under 3 seconds. But now it's 2017, and my bulky case hardly has enough punch inside to justify all the room it takes up outside. That brings me to the topic of discussion. I want to take my old 4770k CPU, my GTX 760, and two of my four 16GB sticks of corsair vengence ram and place them all inside an itx form factor case. Right now the only thing stopping me is the motherboard. Does anyone know where I can get one or does anyone have a used one they'd be willing to sell? (On a side not I plan to use my old case to make a more modern and solid PC build using an i5 6500 and a GTX 1070.)
  7. Hi Guys, long time subscriber to the Channel, yet new to the website! Glad to see a healthy community! Saw the video and had to enter for this projector! Would be great for the game nights I host for my youth group!
