Hey guys, continuing the trend of downsizing, we have here the motherboard and CPU from my most recent build.
Both parts are only 6 months old and still under manufacturers warranty (can supply a receipt if necessary).
The motherboard is a microATX Asus P8H61-M LE/USB3. As the name suggests it has 2 USB 3 ports as well as the usual USB 2.

The CPU is a socket 1155 i3 (2100). Great CPU for media center or a gaming rig combined with a dedicated graphics card. During the time I have had it, it has outperformed my older Q6600 in all games and real applications I use. It beats it in most benchmarks too, only losing marks vs the Q6600 when applications make use of 3+ physical cores, and thats not by a huge margin thanks to the hyperthreading).
The on-chip graphics should be enough to run modern games on medium - low settings. My laptop has the mobile version of the same chip and can run Skyrim playably on medium settings at 720p. Most older games should run nicely.
fantastic for a quiet low power PC.
