Hi experts,

I want to put my rig in Fractal Design Node 304 case. Please recommend upgrade and/or would change to mini ITX mobo alone make more sense?

ASUS P8B75M-LE
Kingston DDR3 dual 8GB
MSI RADEON R7770
FSP Hexa 500W

[Budget] 2-3k if optimized

[Purpose] movies, music, browsing, streaming video, downloading

[Hardwares that will be re-use] 3 HDD, 1 SSD, monitor, keyboard, mouse

[Monitor resolution] 1920x1080

[Games & softwares that use frequently] DOTA2 sometimes

[Personal preferences] Fractal Design Node 304 case and a second DELL U2414H monitor

[Location] KL

thanks

LGA 1155 new mITX mobo is very hard to find now, I'll just recommend a new platform to you instead.

Intel Core i5 6400 - RM 822
Gigabyte H170N-WiFi - RM 575
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM - RM 269
Fractal Design Node 304 - RM 369
Dell U2414H - RM 1025

Total: RM 3060 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

To reduce cost, downgrade to Haswell (4th gen), this can save you roughly RM 500 since you can reuse your DDR3 RAM and Haswell mITX mobo is cheaper.

Edit: typo on socket number  doh.gif

Your PSU is fine to reuse, if you really want to change to a better quality PSU, you can consider Seasonic M12II EVO 520W/620W for fully modular cables or S12II 520W/620W for non modular cables, price is around RM 300 - RM 400 depending on the model you are getting.
