Case change

[JoshCost]

I would like to know if I can change my Pc case if I were to change the motherboard too. If I can can someone recommend a case and motherboard.

Hi,

You have a proprietary: case, MB, and power supply.

You will probably have to change the MB and the power supply if you change the case. 

The CPU, RAM, graphics card are good to go and the CPU cooler should work in the new build.

I can't direct you to a range of MBs that will work with your CPU (don't know what you have) using the product info your are providing.  The full product number is located on the case or you can use this (Link) to assist in finding the product number.

Also case selection is subjective. 

The general rule of thumb is look at MBs which can use the current CPU. Decide if you want a iTX, uATX, or ATX MB. Then look at a case that works using the desired form factor (good airflow and other options such as RGB and front I/O) and looks good to you.

There are many mid-tower cases which support all three MB form factors and have good airflow and fan options in addition to top and front/back CPU AIO liquid cooling options.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. The Ryzen 7 4700G can be used on AMD socket AM4 motherboards.

The B550 and X570 motherboards support the 4700G after a early BIOS update. The current retail stock should support this chip out of the box.

I can't recommend a MB without knowing what form factor (iTX, uATX, or ATX) you want. How much money do you want to spend? Are you using integrated CPU graphics? Do you want ARGB? Do you want front USB Type C?

Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASrock all make nice 500 series AM4 MBs at various price points with different features.

I have a MSI Tomahawk ATX MB running a 3900X. It's not the most expensive but I like it. (Link) to this MB. I can install a 4700G or a 5950X if desired. I have Intel MBs from Asus and Gigabyte. I also like these MBs. Asus and Gigabyte make some nice AMD AM4 MBs.

Look at the offerings by the above manufacturers, read some reviews, then make a decision.
