Need help buying renewing my old PC

[luffy2114d]

i have a 0XR1GT model motherboard with an i3 processor and im gonna replace it with an i7

[(Intel Core i7-7700 Desktop Processor 8M Cache, 3.6GHz (Max Turbo Frequency 4.20GHz) 7th Generation)]

so.. will this support my old motherboard? and even if it did, im gonna upgrade the motherboard later, so let me know a good motherboard:
1.it should include 4slots for ram and i want to know if it is the same size as my last motherboard. right now im thinking of this mother board.. ( MSI Arsenal Gaming Intel Z270 DDR4 HDMI USB 3 CrossFire ATX Motherboard (Z270 TOMAHAWK ARCTIC) )

2.it would be great if you could tell me which size my present motherboard is. (0XR1GT)

3.i wanna a buy a new CPU case too.. so tell me a good looking one for about 60$..
the case i was thinking of buying is this: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-02 Mid Tower Gaming Case

and im planning to use my present CPUs fans and HDDs so i wont be needing anything else. i just need a
1. A new motherboard
2.good looking CPU case
3. to know if an i7 will work on my present motherboard

i will be able to spend about nearly 450$..
and i would be more than happy if you could send me links to order them.. i live in maldives and want to order them from AMAZON

Worse actually. All you can do is buy it and see for yourself. Productivity PC's normally use more RAM than gaming rigs.

once again .. THANK YOU 😀 😀

You're welcome

No, they are incompatible. Your old motherboard has a 1155 socket, your new CPU is 1151-style and won't fit.
Your motherboard's form factor (and the case, consequently) is mini-itx. So you should be looking for a mini-itx motherboard with a 1151 style CPU socket.
You will NOT be able to use the same CPU fans, and chances are your old RAM won't fit either.
I don't understand what you mean by CPU case, do you mean computer case?
Best of luck with your new pc

yeah.. i meant a CPU case hehe sorry..
and do i have to buy fans and powerbox and all of these other parts now?

The CPU comes with a stock fan so it's not necessary to buy a new CPU fan. But it is preferable if you can buy it later.
I don't know what PSU you have so not sure if you'll have to buy a new one, chances are you won't have to.
About the case, you can choose any case that you find appealing (it's pretty subjective) but it has to be a mini-itx one. You could even use your old case, I don't see anything wrong with it, unless you grow bored of it.
Here are some mini itx cases

These are quite small and cramped, so you will have to use a new, small CPU cooler and a low profile RAM, along with a SFX power supply (which are a bit expensive)
