Need Assistance

[Eijar]

I dont have any particular budget.... 

Im on the Philippines

 Games like dishonored 2, Desert Skies, Stranded Deep....Some light to medium games

 

I think the motherboard is micro size....Look at the pic below

 

Hi I need help upgrading this mini pc....
First its case..
Second psu..
Third memory..
Fourth gpu..
And last is storage.

Specs:
Cpu: 7th gen Intel i3 -7100
Memory: adata 288 pin 1x4gb 2400mhz ddr4
Gpu : integrated graphics intel hd630 ( i want to buy 1050ti)
Psu: 300 Watts
Storage :: 1tb Toshiba hdd


Yep at first i need a good case (budget case is recommended) because i cant upgrade my psu the case i have now is pretty compact....so i need some help/recommendations about the case

2nd psu.....Yes i read some threads there that i need around 400+watts to run 1050ti... Any recommendations??? Yep i wont budget the psu...

3rd memory... Yes i did some research about the memory of adata 4gb ddr4 2400mhz....But i can't find similar to that so i need to buy new memory and replace it...... 2x4gb is okay but i want 2x8gb ddr4 2400hz memory
..So can someone recommend me budget friendly

4th as i said up there i want to buy 1050ti (oc not recommended) use only on light to medium gaming ...

5th storage
.... Yep when i open the case i saw it has m.2 slot so and good recommendation about that and i have optical drive but i dont use it and i want to replace it an ssd...1tb ssd and 250 gb m.2 for system boot

1. case : get any micro ATX case that suits your budget and design preference.

2. PSU : get corsair CX450 or if it's too expensive try CV450.

3. memory : 2x8gb 2400mhz, bring your memory stick to a local shop ask for something similar and guarantee replacement if it's not working (the shop won't have a problem with this usually)

4. 1050ti is good, but i suggest getting a used RX470, 480, 570 or 580, it's much better, and cheap. same price as a new 1050ti.

5. i don't think it's a M.2 slot, you cannot use nvme on that motherboard only WIFI, just buy a SATA SSD.

Oh....good but about the storage... I already researched about this motherboard its has a m.2 slot...Its behind of the 24pin i think (that colorful wires) 

 

Edit:

 

About the case...Yes i researched about it just a few minutes ago but i cant find suitable for it..I mean will all case of micro atx will fit this motherboard???? As i said at top there.... It has 

 

Usb 2.0 * 4

Usb 3.0 * 1

Hdmi * 2

You have to reconfirm that in the acer website.

If it supports m2, you have to check if it's a SATA or NVME (PciE) drive.

But just to be safe, i suggest just getting a regular sata ssd drive.

for your usage, you won't be getting the benefit of using nvme drive.

Btw....Can you recommend me a good budget friendly motherboard and compatible to my current cpu?? That could be compatible to higher cpu....Yes near future maybe i will upgrade to i5 or ryzen5

 

My current cpu is Intel I3-7100

While my current motherboard is Ace Aspire XC-780(KBL) the chipset is H110(skylake PCH-H)

The highest CPU you can put in your current MB is a 9th generation Intel Processor. (If I am reading this chart correctly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_socket )

If you want to go Ryzen, you need a AM4 socket MB, preferably with a 400 series chipset (eg. B450 or X470). A B450 would most likely be the cheapest way for you to go Ryzen. Depending on what you can find in your area. 

 

Sadly I am not an expert in this area like I used to be. But hopefully it points you in the right direction. Keep doing research to educate yourself.

no. H110 only supports 6th and 7th gen intel cpus.

Ok. Thank you for the clarification. 

I haven't built an Intel System since the Slot-A socket days (1999, I think is when I built it.)
