Hi Guys,
I want to upgrade my current rig as parts of it are over 6 years old and my frame rates are bottoming out in raids. My current spec is

I only really use my PC to play WoW and the usual – browsing/MS Office etc.
Are there any new hardware releases in the next couple of months? If so I can wait until just before Legion launches as I am not doing a great deal in WoD.
I was thinking to change my CPU, MB and RAM to end up with

But I see that this MB is not compatible with my case, is there another MB that would be suitable, or do I need to get a new case too? Also let me know if there is anything else I should be changing.
My budget is up to around £500. Essentially I want to have WoW run as smooth and as high quality on my rig with the budget I have.
Thanks in advanced for the advice.

It's not incompatible with your case, you just can't use the USB 3 header with your case since it does not support that, most if not all Skylake motherboard will have that issue, if you don't care for USB 3 on your front panel you can ignore this, one of the downsides of using an old case.

If you power supply is 6 years old you might think about replacing it.

Also you could maybe save a bit of money by buying cheaper RAM, 3000 Mhz seems to be the sweet spot for Skylake, and if all you play is wow even the default speeds of 2133 should be fine.

Re-use your ssd/hdd and gpu and you are set:

Is there a reason to replace the psu and cooler, or is it just good practice as they are old?

The cooler probably doesn't support the new motherboard. I don't know I've never heard of the cooler before and I can't seem to find any info on it.

PSU's degrade over time and since it powers all of the components, you don't want it to go bad and take some of them with it, it's not mandatory and you should be fine with your old one, just keep in mind that it will have lost some of it's capacities.

Cooler has moving parts, they wear out over time, it should be compatible, just need new paste if you want to keep it, however it does not seem like it is very good.

The cooler is not compatible with LGA 1151 which is what skylake - the cpu Kostatto suggested is. I agree with his suggestion aswell. Coolers do not having moving parts besides the fan which is normally replaceable or if they are a liquid cooler.

His PSU is a bit outdated i'd upgrade that being that if your PSU fails you risk damaging all your components.

As others have said according to what iread from manufacturer cpu cooler is not compatible with new sockets. Besides that is not something much, looks mostly just atad better that the intel cooler from the non k ones. Its 25 quid anyway.

Psu, you must change it. Old shit get old and you don't want a old psu powering your pretty much new rig. The psu you have is not bad quality was but nothing really good either. Also something about those old psu's, is that they dont support low power states of newer cpu's. So if your pc goes into standby/hybernation you will have troubles getting it back on etc.

There is no difference in the 115x sockets when it comes to coolers, my noctua also did not state it was for 1151 when it came out, works all the same.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1151

the useful bit
"Cooling solutions for sockets LGA 1151, 1150, 1155 and 1156 are interchangeable as they have the same distance of 75 mm between each screw hole"

You can always get a USB3 to USB2 adapter - they're about $10, and while you won't be able to get USB3 speeds, you'll still be be able to use the USB port on the front panel.

it's always better to be safe than sorry being that the mounting pressures between the sockets varys. IE the skylake line and bendgate lol

[nickchar]

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I will go with Kostattoo's suggested build to be on the safe side and not worry about anything blowing up or not being compatible. Cheers again.
