[SOLVED] NEWBIE ALERT! Advice on a build needed.

[funghi79]

I have purchased a Coolermaster Elite 130 Mini ITX case and I am looking to build my first PC. I need some help with the motherboard as I have no idea what to get. I am looking for the following features in the motherboard:-

* Mini ITX
* Must have a connector to connect the front USB 3.0 ports to
* Full length PCI-e port for an old graphics card
* DDR3 memory slots

I'm happy to use a second hand and/or budget motherboard and looking to purchase from a UK supplier. Ebay for a second hand card would be fine or anywhere else for that matter.

Sorry for all the questions, just a newbie getting stuck

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Your DDR3 requirement will be an Intel 7x or 8x motherboard chipset (z77, h81, etc). Skip the AMD AM3+ motherboards.
The Intel chipset will use a 4xxx CPU
