Hi.

So, I've been looking at cases for a long time and I found this one I simply adore. Though I have no money after buying a 600w EVGA PSU, I am starting an apprenticeship and surely will be saving up for this beautiful case. Though, I have things to worry about which is why I am turning to PMC to help me out... Well, since there are a lot of nerds like me out there, just not the same type of nerd :p

Anyway, the case is the NZXT Manta, which is a Mini ITX case that I wuld like in white. Doesn't matter what color honestly, but it has to be in white. xD

These are my current specifications:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4440 processor
Motherboard: ASUSTek B85M-G
Memory: 24 Gigabytes (DDR3) (don't think it matters what brand honestly)
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 Lightning (MSI)
PSU: 600W EVGA
Storage: 3TB (3 storage drives)


Notes:
*No, I am not wanting to upgrade my computer. Just my case for it.

As the case is mini-itx, your current motherboard won't fit unfortunately. Your graphics card should fit fine though as it is 280mm long and the Manta supports above 300mm.

If you want to get that case then you'll have to buy a mini-itx motherboard which won't be able to support your current amount of RAM. (I don't know of any that have more than 2 RAM slots)

Oh.. That's unfortunate. Thanks a lot!

Would the motherboard fit a mATX?

The motherboard is of the mATX form factor, so it would fit a mATX case. But, the Manta only comes in an ITX size.

Which of the parts in that list do you already own? Would you be willing to replace any of them for parts that will fit in the Manta, i.e. the motherboard and possibly RAM?

I have all of it now, but I was hoping since I am getting an apprenticeship soon that I'll be saving up for upgrading parts. These are the parts I have been wanting to get (in the future.)

The parts however listed in the original post is what I have now.

That's the build I recommended to you on your old thread (and old account?):

The GTX 770 should be faster than the 960, so there's no need to get a 960.

Not an old account. My cousin had gave me this PC who happens to be Waec.

Additionally, Waec gave me the listing and I altered it to what I wanted on the side, so yeah.
