PC Upgrade!

iTzPrime

Hey guys!

Because i have gotten a job and won an amazon coupon (yeah, last week was pretty awesome). I would like to upgrade my rig a bit.

 

In the last few months i have been obsessed with the idea of a small case. i love the form factor. However i don't have the right motherboard, I currently have the ATX motherboard gigabyte h87-hd3. 

So i would firstly need a second motherboard. Secondly, my PSU is : be quiet! Straight Power E9 450 W ATX, so i will need a new PSU as well. I have an intel core i5-4570 and a msi gtx 770. 

Then there is the case. I don't care if it is an itx, m-itx or an m-atx, however it should be small and look really fancy. I don't have any special case in mind, but if you don't mind, please recommend me one as well.

Another thing which is really important is, that i need 8 USB-Slots (motherboard+ case). Btw i got a network card with wlan on my mb as well.

 

I hope you can help me find a PSU, a MB and a Case

 

Greetings 

Prime ;)

I would get something better than the EVGA NEX psu. A Seasonic G, XFX XTR or Rosewill Capstone M are all better.
