Hi,

Looking to turn my desktop into a small form factor PC and salvaging as much as possible making it into a
Travel / TV / portable light gaming and work PC i can take home on the train for holidays and do some work.

im not looking to spend much at all as i am saving for a super expensive main rig.

just want to know what i can salvage from this list below? I would like to keep the Graphics card
, Ram, SSD etc but find a equivalent spec new process and ITX Mboard.

most components are 10 - 8 years old now (but were top of line when bought) so shouldn't be to much to get the same spec equivalent Mboard and processor today. need a fan cooler as well or could i go passive?

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 X58 Socket 1366 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366)

salvageable?
TP-Link 450Mbps Wireless N Dual Band PCI Express Adapter (TL-WDN4800)
Corsair 12GB DDR3 10666C9 1333MHz XMS3 TwinX Tri Channel Kit
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 WindForce 3x OC Rev2.0 3072MB GDDR5
Samsung 500GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE500BW)

ITX Case suggestions? one that will fit the graphics card
PSU suggestions?

not looking to pay much.

thanks for your suggestions :)

well, i am not selling it as i need it for my work. i was just hoping to make it into a SFF PC that i could use to take home cheaply. but it doesn't seem like it will be that cheap.
getting simaler today's equivalent specs for the mobo and processor seems pricey.

i don't need top of the line just what i have now performance wise. For this top of the line will be my 2.5k rig in prepping for next year when the crazy supply and demand price hikes subsides for all Zen Builders
