So you want a mini ITX case that supports ATX mobos?

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

So you are switching from a mini-itx board to an ATX board and you want a small form factor ATX case to go with it?
