    Hey guys, I currently have a xigmatek asgard full tower case with this processor and graphics card:
    Processor AMD FX(tm)-4170 Quad-Core Processor
    Video Card AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series

    I was wondering could I downgrade the case to smaller size one that could fit on a desk or under a monitor with just a new motherboard and case? Does anybody have any recommendations?

    Thanks!

    You could get something like the below. Sell your current processor and motherboard to regain some money back. What power supply do you have?

    Intel Core i3-4130 Box, LGA1150
    103,44 €

    Sale: Cooler Master Elite 130, ohne Netzteil
    35,73 €

    ASRock H81M-ITX, Sockel 1150, ITX
    58,79 €
