Well I want to build a very portable PC with my AMD CPU thus I will be going in the MicroATX direction.
I've been looking at a lot of motherboards are uATX cases but just cant decide.
I don't think I need USB3 nor 4 x DIMM slots right?
I need the case to be small and strong enough to move it to another place via car every 2 weeks or so.
I only have 4gb ram(Corsair XMS3 2x2gb dual channel), want 8 but think i should just buy a new 2x4gb dual channel?
I've been looking @ these:
MOBO 1: Asus M5A78L-M LX AM3/AM3+ Dual-Channel DDR3 PCI-E x16 (Supports X4 955 cpu but dont know if I'll use the 4x DIMM slots or the USB 3)
MOBO2: Seems like the others only go up to 95W cpus support.
CASE1: Coolermaster Elite 343 (RC-343-KKN1) Black Chassis - No PSU (MicroATX)
CASE2: Zalman T2 Mini Micro ATX Gaming Chassis Seems like its the smallest one i'll find.
CASE3: Coolermaster RC-344-SKN2 Elite 344 Black & Blue USB3.0 Micro-ATX Chassis
CASE4: Gigabyte GZ-M1 M1 Micro ATX Desktop Chassis with Mouse, keyboard and 320W Power Supply Smallest but would my PSU fit in that 320w's place?
CASE5: Silverstone SST-PS07B Precision Series 07 Black M-ATX Desktop Chassis Looks sturdy but seems like the width is too much or what you think?
What needs to fit in there:
CPU : AMD X4 955 with H60 enclosed liquid cooler.
GPU : HD5850(ASUS EAH)
PSU : Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus (150 x 140 x 86 mm)
RAM : Well, I could get 2 x 4gb something. DDR3 @ 1600mhz
Thank you for the help in advance!
