My Parts List

I just recently went from a monster Dell XPS laptop back to a desktop. I got a MicroATX case with a handle that I quite like, but it's not as mobile as I'd like. I have desktop setups at my house and my office for work, and a friends house for when I game. I miss the portability of my notebook, but I need the power of my desktop.

What I'm looking for is a Mini ITX board with the same chipset and features ( I need RAID0 for my SSDs and I want TRIM support when the new SRT drivers are released. I also need USB 3.0). I would like the smallest case possible to fit the 7970 as well.

I know I can't keep the Noctua, and I honestly don't care. I would rather pick up one of the CPU water cooling units from Cooler Master (but which one?).

So there is my conundrum. Please help.

GregJ, this is really close to a shopping rec. You should look at the features of the various MiniITX boards, there aren't that many, relatively speaking, and find the one that works. This question will probably be closed because the information is too localized and only valid in your specific case. – music2myear Feb 7 at 19:52
Sorry about that. I was looking specifically for a hardware stackexchange, and area51 led me here. – Greg-J Feb 7 at 20:03
Hardware questions are fine, just not super specific ones like this. @music2myear sums it up nicely. This sort of thing is welcome in the chat, though. – Shinrai Feb 7 at 21:10
