    Hey Guys,

    Wanna take my current system (as below) and switch over to a mATX build with the hope of boosting my graphics power later (maybe wait for 7000 series given the news today) without incurring too much cost.

    ie, stick with my AMD 955BE, stick with my Corsair 1600mhz RAM if possible?

    Looking to switch to a NZXT Vulcan case for the awesome LAN capability.

    If anyone knows of something on the market place I would give you much love <3

    Chris

    No suggestions? :(

    Not necessarily looking for someone to tell me there's something on marketplace, just what board would be suitable for what I need...

    Guess these would be a good shout?

    The above more so than the much cheaper:

    Due to the SATA 6GB/s ports and additional fan headers for cooling?

    Thoughts? Oh, and what could I sell my ASUS Crosshair IV Formula board for on the marketplace do we reckon?

    First looks pretty decent. I'd go for that one, the second uses a much more cut down chipset. We sell them where I work as a basic board.
