I want to replace my current motherboard with a new one. I am slowly upgrading the desktop, my plan is to finally buy an ATX case. I have so far bought a core i7 7700k processor, a gtx1060 graphics card, M.2 ssd, GSkill RAM and 650 Watt PSU. I have put of the case for now because of steep import duty and shipping cost. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    The TC-780A does use an ATX sized motherboard. You can measure the mounting points to verify, but the standard motherboards should fit right in.

    Thanks billsey for the reply. The motherboards listed on Amazon are ATX, micro ATX mini ITX and the likes. What I needed to know is which size would fit in the Acer case that I have. I need the motherboard to support core i7 7700k and 64 GB of RAM

    ATX is going to be your best bet, since that gives the largest area for components, which typically means you have more room for expansion slots and memory slots. Micro ATX is next, with lots of different motherboards to choose from. They will typically have fewer slots for expansion but still have enough for most uses. Mini ATX is the smallest and you'll often only have a slot for a graphics card and a couple of memory slots.
