Im after a mini-itx motherboard That is 17cm by 17cm intel or amd 1.8ghz+ i dont mind brand and it will be powered by a mini-ITX DC-DC HTPC 250W PSU 12V

The board should have DDR3 RAM upto 8GB+ with Onboard I/O 4+ USB 2.0 Ports and SATA with 2+ ports and Lan and also aPCI-Express slot for a Sapphire HD 7750 Low Profile Edition 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card


An extra thing that would be nice is that it can use a 3TB hard drive as boot disk when installing a 64-bit operating system like the MSI H55M-ED55 motherboard

Thanks in advance for any advice or info

thanks for reply it looks like it ticks the boxes will the Expansion Slots

1.1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16
(The PCIEX16 slot conforms to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)

work for PCI-Express slot for a Sapphire HD 7750 Low Profile Edition 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card and will that be fine on using the mini-ITX DC-DC HTPC 250W PSU 12V
 
what would be the best cpu and ram for Gigabyte H61N-USB3

to keep my Watts down as 250W PSU 12V is as high as i can go due to not having the joy of space in my case im using but i need to be able to Run the dolphin emulator for Wii and SC2 and LoL on good graphics.

Thanks for this help its much appreciated

The reason i have chose the sandybridge processor insted of the latest ivybridge is because its on special.

More importantly is that the motherboard may need a bios update to support ivybridge processor ,which cant be done without a cpu installed.

8gb of ram is dirt cheap at the moment.


YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i3-2120 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £87.59
1 x GeIL Black Dragon 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit (GD38GB1333C9DC) £23.99
Total : £120.28 (includes shipping : £7.25).
