Custom rig advice Please

[DoomtrainUK]

hello there, my first question is how does one determine the make and size of my motherboard? im making a new rig but want to use my existing mobo

2. i need a recommendation for a case within the £100 price preferably lower and preferably screw-less for this setup:

Motherboard size: micro ATX (90% sure thats the size) it was a dell factory spec xps

PSU: Corsair HX850w (850 watts)

GPU: palit geforce 580 gtx

3. do you think i require extra cooling for this setup? i have a standard dell xps fan

4. does the term screw-less literaly mean you can fit all the hardware without screws, bit of a silly question but i dont want to take chances

and thats about it for now looking forward to hear from the amazing techheads here and thanks

ta for the replys, so if i get a case designed for a bigger mobo will my micro atx go in? is there a case that has fixings for different sizes? im worried that mine wont fit in a bigger case, the gfx card should be fine though so thats cleared up

also: what are the screws on the mobo that have no coil? they have a smooth dome shape with a small hole in the middle, no idea how to get them out

If your talking about the motherboard tray then that sounds like a pop rivet to me?
Drill straight through the middle to remove it.

how does that work? sounds like id be drillng a 6 inch crack into my motherboard :S, do they go back in?

@ OP. Can you post up more details about your current PC? You said it's "a dell factory spec xps" but what year was that? Anything that would help us to identify the case/mobo would be great.

ok il try

2010 Dell studio xps 8000

Mobo - intel p55 express ( not entirely sure as my google image searches dont match up, in terms of size by eye and number of slots - ports, it resembles a mini itx but is probably a smaller mini atx



Intel i7 860 @ 2.88 ghz

PSU: corsair hx850w ( not fitted)

Geforce GTX 580 (not fitted)

6gb ddr2? ram 2 gb + 1 - 2gb + 1 config

Ok ive pretty much come to the conclusion this motherboard isnt enough, if any1 would be kind enough to recomend a mobo and case that would be good for overclocking my gtx 580

case preferably within 100 quid

i dont know about mobos so il just see wot u have to say

cheers
