First Gaming Rig

[Noxifer]

Sir the best reason i can give is i am a noob on building ^^; I wasnt sure what slots or how many were needed and i noticed from your post it is micro lol... can you suggest another mid size for the same pric epoint? or if it being micro will hold me back?

It's mostly that microATX are intended for when you want a smaller case, and usually don't offer as many component slots and/or make it trickier to fit said components to it due to the lack of size. Which means that if you go with it, then decide to upgrade your RAM, it might be a cumbersome process to switch them because other components are in the way. And it might mean that you can't go with an upgraded CPU cooler instead of the one shipped with the CPU because there's no room for it -- like others have said, those are often not powerful enough for a gaming rig, which decreases the life of your CPU. Plus they are often louder than 'custom' CPU coolers. Custom CPU coolers, on the other hand, are often a lot larger than the stock coolers.

I did a quick search on the site you linked, by selecting the parameters from your linked MB (socket, chipset, number of sata 6gb, onboard 3.0, RAM 32gb) plus "form factor ATX", and got a list of 12 different MBs =) Sure, the prices go up a bit, but the cheapest ones on the list are only $10-15 or so more than the one you'd picked, so it's not much of an increase. I'm not an expert, so I can't really make any comments regarding the various brands and their reliability, but I've had both ASRock and GigaByte MBs before without issues and they've all survived way beyond their "market value" (as in, technology advances made them obsolete; they didn't break down).

Best of luck with your build! =D
