So what are the sizes that would fit in that case?
What have you already tried to find?
What type of RAM doe you need?
What type of CPU fits?

How much RAM and what CPU do you want? etc.

 

 

Dont put in the effort you cant expect a good answer.

Goodluck.

if so, just replace the cpu and motherboard to something atx or smaller.

Well, you basically stuck on Kaby Lake processors if you wanna upgrade your CPU without replacing the motherboard itself. Processor after Kaby Lake seem sucks anyway. Upgrade to i7-7700 looks like a good jump.

 

But if you really wanted to upgrade your CPU, just get a Ryzen CPU, new motherboard (you might to check the size of your motherboard, I can't really see if that's a mini or micro ATX board), and reuse your case. Probably better to wait the Gen. 4 to release.

 

You'd want to upgrade your GPU and RAM instead if you want so much gaming on it.

 

Wait for the newest RTX 30 series GPUs, or just get secondhand GPUs if you want to, but you'll need to upgrade that 450W power supply anyway if you want to replace that GPU that's have higher wattage than your 1050Ti. Get 600W to 800W (depends of GPU) just to be safe if you really plan to upgrade your GPU. Don't forget about the size of your GPU if you plan to upgrade.

 

The motherboard supports up to 16 GB, so just get another 8 GB 2400MHz stick for it. You won't need too much RAM just for game anyway.

 

Yet. Don't get pre-build system next time. It just make things to upgrade kinda harder than usual.
