So i've been planing on taking the parts out of my dell xps 8700 case and into a new computer case for awhile and i've been checking sizes etc. i believe this case should work LINK, however i cannot find if my motherboard is a full size atx or not.
Pretty much finding information for this motherboard has been a pain in my butt(or maybe i'm looking in the wrong places)
My main question is, would whatever motherboard i have in this dell fit properly in this new case?

Intel i7-4790 3.60ghz (8 CPU's)
16gb ddr3 RAM
GTX 960 SSC 4GB
corsair cx750m PSU
 
If your RAM MHz is 1866 or more buy
Asus Z97M-PLUS

If your RAM is 1600 MHz or lower buy
Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H

Both are mATX and will fit your case
(This is if you still didn't buy mobo since you didn't write which one you have)

For the case if you want to buy new one I would go Corsair 200R or Fractal Design arc midi 2
They can fit both ATX and mATX motherboards and they have pretty good airflow

dell xps 8700 case, the one that you have now is FULL ATX, so you can put inside ATX and mATX motherboards, but the case itself is low quality and doesn't have good airflow nor filters so you will have to clean it once a month at least... motherboard that was in your case was mATX (micro ATX)
 


The OP is not looking to buy a motherboard, he simply asked what form factor his existing board is so he can choose a compatible case for it.

 


I realized so I edited my comment... :)
