I have a Aurora R1 and while this girl has served me faithfully for almost a decade I am forced to take her out of service. So basically my i7 920 CPU doesnt support AVX which is needed to run my new WMR VR headset (did not find out untill after the purchase). In order to save as much money as possible I'm trying to salvage as much as I can from the Aurora and I needed some help on what I am able to use or not.
Basically I'm going with a ECS H61H2-M2 mATX mobo with an i5 3470 and I was looking at using a DYIPC MA08 mATX Mini Tower to house the new stuff since I'm pretty sure I remember reading the AW Aurora case doesnt line up with other boards mounting holes. Mobo only has 2 RAM slots so I will only be taking my GPU, HDD's, SSD and USB 3.0 Pci card. I wanted to know will I be able use the CPU water cooling and PSU on my new board? The PSU is the Dell 875w I believe. If the CPU water cooling can be used will it be able to fit into the case I'm looking at or will I need to find something else with some special feature in mind?
When it comes to the left over parts I would like to sell them and use some of that money towards the new PC. Is there a better place than Ebay to sell AW stuff? Should I part it out or will it be worth more sold in one unit sort of like a barbones PC? It's a i7 920, 12 GB (3 x 4gb) RAM, the Mobo of course and the case.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide, all of this was short notice and with not much funds available.
