• Motherboard failing, want to upgrade to Intel, possibly need a new case, 400USD Budget
    4 replies, posted
So my motherboard on my AMD PC is failing and I decided to go all out and upgrade to Intel. I have been looking at getting an i5-3570k but I don't know what motherboard to get and I don't really want to go with a cooler. I also probably need a new case because my power button, power LED, and reset button are broken, but that isn't that urgent.
Is the case micro ATX or ATX?

ATX Mid, already have 8gb's of DDR3 ram that are perfectly fine. [editline]18th July 2012[/editline] And the way my case is built makes it extremely hard to replace the buttons. [editline]18th July 2012[/editline] Forgot to mention, i have a Lian LI PC-K58W
