the ATX motherboards dimensions are 305mm x 244mm so i dont think it would fit inside my existing case but how about this one:

Any other comment regarding this case would be appreciated.

EDIT: I also thought about keeping my old DVD drive cause i dont think i will be needing blu-ray or anything. If i change my mind i can always buy a new one later. What u guys think about that?

Ok so here is my probably final set up:
Motherboard: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_ ... ifications
Powersupply: http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=MjQ1Nw==
Graphics card: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/NVID ... ifications
Case: http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=MTA4MQ==
CPU: http://www.jimms.fi/tuoteinfo/BX80623I5 ... 7286273273
CPU cooler: http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/cpu/3 ... tml?c=2181
RAM: http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-8gb-du ... 600c8.htmlTotal cost: 870€
Now i only have to wait for my financiers (mothers) approval.

Yes, you must have thermal paste. A pea sized drop in the middle of the cpu. Don't spread it, just fix your cooler down on to it and that will spread it evenly. If there is any excess out of the sides, wipe it off.

My CPU came with thermal paste. Is it normal for it not to?
