Hey guys!

Just to clarify I'm currently not pleased with the current Mini-ITX form factor as the lack of expansion card slots and space (it's quite cramped) I want to move it to a larger case (ATX) for reasons above. More details after statments below.

Approximate Purchase Date: This month.

Budget Range: AU$300

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, virtual machines & work.

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: I would presume: Motherboard, case & processor (maybe)

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: msy.com.au (I'll be picking up), pccasegear.com (shipping)

Location: Sydney, Australia

Parts Preferences: Intel on the CPU, Motherboard (Prefabley a list from here and ATX of size): tonymacx86.com

Overclocking: Yes

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe (in future)

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: These are my current specifications:


  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI
    CPU: Intel i5-4670K @ 3.40GHz (Quad core)
    RAM: 8GB (2x4GB)

Again thank you for your suggestions and help. Really I'm looking for a case and motherboard. If I can reuse the CPU + cooler, RAM and other non-dependable parts thats fine.
