Can I fit GA-78LMT-S2 in CM Elite 130 ?

[SKD007]

I need a compact case and my frist option was CM E 110.. but it needs a mini graphics card/board and mine is a 9.45 inch 280x and Micro board.


My setup..

AMD phenom II x6 1100T
GA-78LMT-S2 (micro)
H100i 240mm
2 3.5inch HDD
16Gb 2400mhz ddr3
280x duel X
CM 690 III (very heavy)

Can I fit GA-78LMT-S2 in CME130 ?

I am waiting for Zen.. if it fails, I will be choosing between 6700k or 6800k.. so the case should be suitable for that as well.

Supports graphic card length up to 210mm or 8.2 inches

if it doesnt need to be a cube, the Cougar spike is a mini tower, and fits quite a bit of hardware. I have one with a reference GTX970, and a mATX board. and a cooler master HS tower

this can hold a GTX titan ref card. silverstone

heres a video of it being built.its tiny

mATX board won't fit into an ITX Case.

Try a Coolermaster N200?

Silverstone s13 looks good and I can use my 10.5 inch 280x without issues... but I will have to buy mini board.. I am open to buying 6700K and a mini board.. but very much worried what if Zen turns out better ? of what if Zen forces Intel to slash price.. :/

also just noticed it wont have space for my 2 3.5inch HDD.. I have 3TB game drive and 2TB for OS and data.. any idea if it will have space for 2 3.5inch HDD ? Coz, in the video you posted. They are struggling to put 2 2.5 SD

Don't worry, it won't.
Either way you could wait until after Zen.

I am also confused if I should go for 6700k or 6800k and overclock it as I already have H100i.

Also not sure how good 6800k will be when it comes to overclocking to 4.5ghz and gaming performance. I will buy 1080 or AMD as I am still waiting to see if AMD will come up with something good (atx 490).

I am trying to stick to AMD when it comes to Graphics cards. (I had bad exp and let's leave it at that).. but at the same time I need best performance and should last a long time. I can't keep spending money as I am a married man and can't set bad examples to kids and wife lol .. I need to justify every thing I do.. (let's leave it at that as it's between me and my wife )

So I am really confused.. 5820k and overclock or 6800k and overclock or 6700k and overclock.. if I go with 6700k, I can even go for a DDR3 board and use existing Ram. But I am not bothered to change to DDR4 if performance difference is noticeable. all I do is gaming and sometimes work on VM.. 6 to 8 OS load.

Bad experience with Radeon or Nvidia? Go with what you like IMO, its all the same really.
Processor-wise I'd go with i5, lower price should go over easier on your wife too. If you use the processor mainly for gaming the i5 is the way to go, they are very fast these days. Just determine a budget to start with and then figure out what parts fill that budget.

My bad exp was with Nvidia. All my radion products from asus and sapphire lasted long or should say still running. But had fan failure with powercolour ..

Budget is never a problem. I can afford anything if it can convince me that I am going to use its power and it will last long. Last month I booked 1070 and 5820k but later canceled it as I am still confused and very much want to wait to see if AMD can offer something that will affect intels price and also heard about 1080 TI. I don't know why these idiots releasing all the new hardware at wrong time. I have preordered mafia 3, watchdogs2 and waiting for rider 2.. by the time new intel and AMD comes out, I would have finished all of these games.. I finished quantum break in like 7hrs straight

Power color is crap in my own experience, but I'd get an Asus or Sapphire. Sounds like you should wait it out then.

Ya now I have a Sapphire 280X and I am stuck at 1080p gaming.

I am worried I will be in trouble this Friday when my Mafia3 steam preload unlocks hope I can play medium or high settings if not ultra.
