Looking to transfer the components from my Lenovo H30-50 to a bigger case, to fit my new CPU cooler in. Not sure on the type of motherboard it has though, or how to find out. I'm a complete novice when it comes to PC jargon, so go easy on me ^^

So best case scenario if price were no object, I would get the V21 case and transfer over my i7 processor, 16gb of ram, 212 Evo, 2TB HDD and my H81 mobo, and upgrade to a gtx 1060 (if the motherboard can take it) and get a 500W psu to finish up? Would probably come to about £300-350 if I shopped smart

So apparently it's not a mini-ITX motherboard and it won't fit in the v21.. This means you can buy an ATX case.
Here's a list of the *numerous* cases available. Get an ATX case and

sounds like a...
i would not myself buy any graphics card right now. but if you are upgrading and desperately need it i would recommend a gtx 1050ti/ rx 560(if you are a light gamer)/ r9 fury nano (similar to performance and price with gtx 1060 but requires more power)or gtx 970(it selling very cheap and performance is similar to gtx 1060).
P.S. buy gtx 970 or r9 fury nano only if you find it around 300-350 pounds
 
I'm just planning on getting a graphics card in the future, mainly so I can run Destiny 2 on my PC, but at the moment my PC is struggling to get 20 FPS on ultra settings, and 40 fps on low settings, which is really poor 🙁 the gtx 1060 6gb is £270 on Amazon at the moment, which doesn't seem too high
