Hey boys.
So I recently ran off to a give away thingey and got myself a chassi Corsair Carbide 240 mITX/mATX for free.
My current setup uses a really old chassi from 2004-2005, it's a huge tower called Scaleo X from Fujitsu Siemens.
PSU: OCZ ModXStream PRO 600W
GFX: XFX PCIe HD6950 2GB DDR5
CPU: Core i5 2500K
MB: Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Socket 1155, Z68, ATX B3
RAM: Corsair 8GB (KIT) DDR3 1600MHz/VENGEAN/1,5VBLUE
SSD: 120GB OCZ Agility 3
HDD: Seagate 512GB 7200 RPM + 256GB 5400 RPM
Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler AMD/Intel
I was pretty happy with my setup, but I always wanted a new chassi. However, this is a mATX and my current MB is ATX. So I was wondering are there any good MBs that would fit my 1155 socket CPU and into a mATX? Or should I perhaps try to sell this chassi I got for free and buy myself a good ATX chassi? Use my current perfectly fine motherboard and invest in a new GFX card instead?
Right now I'm playing FFXIV, WoW and other stuff at 1080p at about 60 fps on various settings. But I am looking to play GTA V. So to elongate the life of my current setup I was thinking of overclocking my CPU and wish for a above average nVidia GFX card
