Hello, I have this predator build - rtx 3060, i7 13700f, 32gb, 1tb and want to swap the stock case with this one - https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Elite-Dual-Chamber-Mid-Tower-Gaming/dp/B0BFZZVDZR

Do I need to get a new motheboard for that? If so, which one would be a good fit for my specs?

    You can likely use the same motherboard, but you will lose access to all the front ports. The motherboard is a DTX form factor, slightly smaller than a uATX but with the same mounting points, but it has that 'diving board' that sticks out the front to bring those ports forward, and that case don't provide for them.
