    New Board,CPU,Fan,RAM (mATX compatible)

    Hey folks,

    I was about to get me some new hardware pieces until I stumbled over the words mATX and ATX. Well it took me a bit to find out that the board I was about to buy (Asus Maximus VI Hero (C2)) until I found out that my PC case is only made for mATX.

    Now the rest of the setup looks like following.

    CPU - i5-4670K
    Fan - Thermalright Macho HR-02 PCGH Edition (Amazon)
    RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 8GB (Newegg)

    My current GFX is a GTX560TI.

    My main concern is now. I didn't find a decent mATX board and even if I would have, I'm worrying about the space inside the tower. Since I really like my current Asus tower I'd rather stick to mATX. Anyone has any suggestions for this, or an equal board to the Asus in mATX size? Or any tips on which board to fit into the case (the side cases doesn't need to be closed, so the fan can extend the size of the side case).

    The Maximus does come in micro atx form if you liked the atx version. Look for the Maximus VI GENE.

    Can you link your current case?
