My current build is an ATX form factor, i will not have as much space anymore so i need to downsize to micro atx build.

Current Specs
i7 2600k
Hyper 212+ cooler with typhoon fan
Z68 gigabyte MB
4+8GB DDR3 Ram
500W FPS PSU
Zotac GTX1060
500GB HGST
750GB SSD MX300

I am looking to replace my CPU+MOBO+PSU+RAM+CASE.
- For the CPU i do not need it to be K series, but i want something from the i5 kaby lake.
- I Prefer the Case to be as minimal as possible, because i don't really have time to maintain a dusty PC, it should also be an mATX.
- Mobo needs to be mATX and have as many USB ports as possible.

My budget is preferably $800 for the upgrade.
Current case i am looking at is the Nova m full alum case for $99.

Emm you are using 12gb now. If your new build want similar amount of ram closest is 16gb. 16gb ram kit now costs already 200. 300 bucks cant get anything which performs as well as your 2600k....i5 combo around 380 - 400+ already and that's the non k version.

Well that's for the ones which are at 3000-3200mhz lol. For regular 16gb rams, around 170. Though that still isnt enough for a comparable upgrade to your current rig

Unless you going for i5 non k kaby lake, else $700 not enough for k chip with z board+16gb ram+case. You may download a price list from here to have a rough idea.
