Hi EarthDog,
Thanks for all your help. I have added this to my Birthday wishlist and will be ordering it pretty soon with the amazingly cheap new Intel Pentium G3258 Anniversary Edition.
I am not going to close this thread yet in case someone else has another mobo suggestion but thanks so much EarthDog.
Just looking through the NewEgg catalogue, I saw THIS mobo (BIOSTAR Hi-Fi B85S3+ Ver. 6.x LGA 1150 Intel B85 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard), Would this be any good? I will not be hard core gaming really, Just some rendering and low intensity gaming like Minecraft etc.
That sounds like the small form factor case. I've been doing some reading and I think you'll need another case if you get an mATX motherboard. The I/O and expansion slots are on opposite sides of the board. Also it is possible your power supply won't fit in an mATX case.
Can you post a photo of the back of your case so we can tell for sure?
Yes, I agree. I cannot post a photo of the back because my iPhone wont let me but having looked properly at my case and the new mobo, its exactly as you said. Thanks for everyones help.
