Hi

I dont know people don't make MicroATX mobo with 970. Do I have to be concerned about that? I see a lot of option with older chipset.

Please let me know if you have any recommendation.

And it would not run a fx- 6300 cpu...

Lol okay so it was miss listed on amazon as it also only said ASUS M5A97 R2.0 - Socket AM3 AMD 970 Chipset MicroATX Motherboard DDR3 SATA 6Gb/s PCIE Gigabit LAN 7.1CH HD Audio USB3.0

It didn't say it was a am3+ socket which on ausu it is and does support the fx cpu that he was wanting...

thanks for clearing that one up...but I knew something wasn't adding up when I glanced at it so I basically said it was wrong info and it wasn't what he was wanting anyway...as its not a micro atx motherboard...

I don't think it makes a difference. The only difference that I see is that integrated graphics chipsets get a bit better as time goes on (970 didn't even have an integrated graphics chipset though) and HyperTransport 3.1 with 3.0 compatibility. I tried searching, but I coulnd't find any benchmarks or clues as to what the real world performance difference between 3.0 and 3.1 is. I don't think it should make too much of a difference.
