Hello all,
After much thought over the last week I've decided that I probably can't sell my old eMachines PC for a great deal, and would probably like to keep the case, rear case fan, and optical drive.
I'm looking at getting a brand new Gigabyte 1155 mATX motherboard, and was wondering if you thought it would be an easy fit?
This will be my first PC build so I want it to be straight forward. My concern is that the holes in the board won't line up with the spacers/threads in the case in order to attach it.
Here are some pics:
Into this will go a 500W PCU, i3-2100 CPU, Seagate hard drive, wireless PCI card, crucial RAM, and a graphics card (of which I still don't know what to get!).
Any help/advice would be fantastic.
Many thanks.
