My old motherboard isn't working so I want to replace it and buy a new
case while am at it. Here are my specs:

\- [CPU i5-
8600k](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0759FKH8K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asi
n_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1)

\- [GPU EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01
KVZBNY0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1)

\- [RAM 16GB 3200Mhz Trident](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01MTDE
YHU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

\- [PSU EVGA 600 BR](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07DTP6QKG/ref=p
px_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1)

and an HDD. I used to game on this PC but now I barely touch it so I
am turning it into a home server. I got the software part but I am
looking for motherboard and a case suggestions. Appreciate any help !

Your stuff is old and non-ECC.

I guess any motherboard with enough SATA ports will do.

Do you have any use for the GPU? Like rendering or transcoding?
Otherwise I would take it out, but maybe your cpu won't do graphics?

Hard drives can be noisy, I went with a silent case from Fractal
Design.
