Mini ITX Motherboard

[Antony101]

Thinking of switching to a nice small case.

I've got a P67 Sabertooth, i7 2600k and a GTX 680 atm, what motherboard would best replace the Sabertooth?

Also, am I expecting to much trying to get those into an ITX case?

EDIT: No intention to overclock but want something good, just nothing too expensive.

You could probably trade the PSU for something smaller and different motherboard, I just couldn't find any other mITX board. But that would probably make it a bit cheaper.

The z77 Stinger was a real dog of a motherboard, I wouldn't buy it personally.

You can get the Asrock Z77E-ITX off the bay new for £80. I wouldn't spend £135 on a B grade Z77 motherboard.

Just to note, I've got a full system, would only need the Case and Motherboard, the 250D was what I was looking at too.

Obviously I'd likely need to get the motherboard from somewhere other than OcUK as they simply don't stock anything 1155 in mITX.

If you let me know what board I'll do the price comparing myself. This is my system at the moment:

Thanks.

Well, Stinger wouldn't be my choice either but I didn't find anything else.

I would not spend too much on a Z77 itx now. As mentioned check the bay for the best deals. Also MM seem to have some amazing prices lately, if you have access.

Buy my 4770k after x99 launch
I will be selling half of my rig on MM in about 10-14 days
And then you can get a cheap h87 mITX board...
