Time to let go of the 775.

Thread Starter 
Motherboard died on me last night. Was about time I moved on. Currently looking at an i3-2120 and considering moving to itx for the Bitfenix Prodigy. I'm open to any recommendations, but I have a budget of $260 for a processor, mobo, and ram.

Ram

This is what I've thrown together without any kind of combo deal. I don't plan on overclocking again for a while, or until I need to. I am interested in itx but I know nothing about it as far as cooling and fitting in my 570. It would probably be another few months before I'd scratch up enough to justify the Prodigy.

Thanks!

I don't think that board will fit in the prodigy. Try this:

Oh, right. Forgot to add that I picked an atx board there. I wouldn't know where to start with itx and I'm not fully committed to it. It just looks fun and different.

I guess what I'd like to know is if there would be any big changes I'd have to make or any detriment to going that small.
