What motherboard will fit this case? CM 690 II Advanced NVIDIA edition

[MacaulayRose7]

Hello,
I am interested in making my own PC and am interested in getting the following case: CM 690 II Advanced NVIDIA edition
but I do not know which motherboards will fit.

Can someone give me a list from the best to the worst?
Thanks.

P.S Will all components such as any hardrive, etc fit and is there a way to find a barebones kit with this specific case? Thanks.

That case will support any ATX or mATX motherboard. It has room for up to 7 HDs and 4 optical drives. As far as which is best that opinion drastically differs around here. I prefer Gigabyte and Asus but most people also like Asrock as well.

As far as barebones kits go - I'd advise against those due to the fact that most include junk power supplies and cut corners on most of the components. If I knew a budget I could suggest a system.

Thanks, I am kind of new to all of these computer stuff. My main aim for my computer will be to play Flight Simulators. I mean I see videos on YouTube where people are for example landing and the graphics are amazing. Obviously they will have a top end system but I do not have the money.

Example: http://www.youtube.com/user/ebksb123 Check out some of his videos, his Specs are in his Profile but I reckon they will be to expesive.

My budget will be around a maximum of £550 baring in mind that is excluding the Monitor. I really want to make sure the computer is fast but will also play FSX (Flight Simulator) without a problem. I have tried Customizing my own PC on Cyberpower etc (Cyberpower is my preferance) but it all adds up to be expensive, unless you could find a good specifacation for a cheap price etc.

I would like atleast 6GB ram but it depends on your opinion too as you will know more than me?
Thanks.

8GB is pretty much the minimum anymore. For that budget I'd suggest this:

1. The i3-2120 outperforms the FX-4100 in just about every category.

2. It should for the most part - it will tell you if RAM and things like that aren't compatible.
