I know little when it comes to motherboards so I would appreciate some help on a new board and possibly a new case if really needed.
My current board is P67A-GD53 with an i5-2500k. The reason I need a new board is because currently mine is jammed packed like a sardine can, with a big noctua cpu cooler, 7970 and ram sticks everything barely fits, I'm also getting sound interference with it being so close, so a new board is the only option.
Looks don't matter, just need a good board with lots of space and good overclocking ability, the cpu runs at 4.7 since day one and want to keep that speed. As for budget I really don't know what is realistic for my requirements but ideally want it to be low as possible.
The case I'm using was a popular coolmaster model when it was out, can't remember the full name but I'm told they re made it, looks identical to this one http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-196-CM&groupid=2362&catid=29&subcat= so I'd assume it's the same one. Do I need a new case aswell to solve the space problems?, or is it just the motherboard being too small?.
