New Core Build with Cannibalisation

[TheFlynnEffect]

Morning all! 

 

So currently I've got a:

 

Case: Obsidian 750d

Mobo: ASUS PBZ68-V LX

CPU: i7 6700k

Cooler: Corsair H80

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengence

GPU: EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2GB

Storage boot: 1 x 256 ssd

Storage: 2x 2TB sata

PSU: Corsair 850

 

Im after drastically downsizing to a Micro case not ITX. I only play games (BF1, Overwatch and DayZ) and do a small about of picture editing. My main struggle is what case to get. I've been looking at:

 

Corsair Air 240 Black or White, If anyone can suggest something else shout up, I'm more than happy to look into something a bit different. So I guess I'm planning on buying a new micro ATX 1151 mobo, new CPU and new ram. Then cannibalising my old machine for the rest, GPU, PSU, Cooler, etc... Rightly or wrongly I would prefer to stick with Intel. I'm comfortable building my own machines and I'm not that interested in overclocking. 

 

Looking to spend around £500. I have a seperate budget for the case around £100. Dependant on if the missus likes it! Haha. 

 

Thanks

Rob

Z68 for a LGA1151 processor?? Alrighty then. 

 

20GBP above your budget, but you're getting a top board with top performance and a really nice soundproof case.

My bad. It's a 2600k. 

 

Thanks buddy. I'll take a look at those then. Is there a huge difference from the Z170 and the Z270 chipset?
