I'm absolutely over my Alienware x51 R2 mini-ITX case.
I'm unsure of whether it would be worth simply moving all hardware into an ATX case or just buying a pre-built, installing my GPU and going from there with a new slate.
Hardware:
CPU: Intel i72600
Motherboard: Andromeda H87 LGA 1150 mini ITX Motherboard 0PGRP5 PGRP5
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 670
RAM: Patriot Signature 4GB (x2)
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB 64 GB
Dunnno if it matters but I'm using Windows 10, Home Edition (64)
From what I've read, it seems perfectly possible, but I want some input from people who have experience with PCs and my main concern is how I'll attach the Power Supply since it's fully external in the form of an AC/DC adapter.
And if it IS possible to just swap cases over, is it recommended that I update any of my hardware?
I don't do any hard core gaming. I mostly just play Sims4 and Minecraft with Shaders and I also have a Wacom Cintiq 16 I use for digital illustration, if that matters.
