Hello
I was using an msi 880GMS e-35,after 5 years of use i accidently ruined its sound chips,so i'm planning to buy a new motherboard but i cant really afford a high number atm.

And i dont expect a strong oc support obviously, like from 2.8 to 3.3 at best maybe.

My specs

cpu: amd phenom ii x6 1055t
gpu: amd r7 370 2g
ram: 1333 mhz 4g x2 ram
psu: aopen 550w

since my old motherboard was mini atx i really am not sure if my case supports an atx one sadly,but here is a pic of my case if you can tell by look maybe?

Thank you!
 
Judging by number of slots for add-on cards, that case can take full ATX MB. AM3 (no +) MBs are not made any more but here's one that could OC those processors like crazy and I have it in spare computer and used until recently: Gigabyte ga-890fxa-UD5 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3417#ov
Super rich with features and very well built. With right BIOS it's even possible to use FX processors.
