Hiya. A bit fed up with my msi gd53, sometimes it doesnt start and between that and my nzxt case, i cant get the power button to work. SO ANYWAY. I need a MOBO and case suggestions. It needs to fit the corsair h100, and a nvidia gtx 570, with a tv card in. I was thinking about the corsair 600T? Suggestions?
Ive just purchased a asus Gene IV for £62.50 off this very market place. This along with a H100 2600k and HD7850 are going into a fractal arc mini. I love this little Case awesome lay out for the money. You can remove a HDD bay for a larger graphics card too. Really impressed and it only cost £54.99 delivered off ebuyer. Just to say i really like that it has dust filters too.
Corsair Carbide 500R http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2012/02/20/corsair-graphite-500r-review/1 Highly recommended.
i was looking at some ivy bridge mobos - would they be compatible with SB? and budget is like 350 - 400?
oops sorry on downstairs pc as mine is awaiting a shiny new 7850 . Like i say the Gene IV is an awesome board, But then again i like asus mobos. If you need bigger then look at the z68pro. The sabertooth is nice but id seriously check out the marketplace on here. Ive tried the z77 msi GD65 and hated it when i went to scan. But any of the above asus boards will most like max out your cpu.

Depends if you have a 2500k or 2600k id skip ivybridge. And wait for Haswell. I know the upgrade bug all too well unfortunately sandy to ivy is more of a side grade than and upgrade.
