First post here, so pleased to be a part of the forum 
I have come here for a bit of advice really, I decided to start a project for my wife, who years ago used to console game with me. My project therefore is a gaming PC of decent spec, cheap to build and most importantly, fits into the TV console space like a xbox/ps4 as she will be controller based.
I have purchased an old Ivy Bridge i5 CPU with ATX motherboard and Ram really cheap but Im having issues locating a supplier of a micro or mini Atx/Itx board to squeeze into a case.
I will add due to the project being about cost as much as performance, I don't really want to pay £150 for what would be ageing tech as the rest of the build so far, including an RX480 currently stands at £250. The entire build is planned to be i5 16gb ram, rx480 and the target is £350 all in,... im on target to come in under that price too!
Even second hand ones are proving difficult to locate, where have they all gone?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers
