MicroATX is a size category of motherboards, a small one, to be specific. Generally, you only want to use it if your case is too small to allow a full ATX motherboard.
Also, you should really get 8 GB of 1600mhz RAM, if you can. Everything else looks alright.

- possible difficulties setting up your GPU to run in SLI/CF, unless you get a single slot GPU for the second PCIe slot
- depending on the SATA ports layout, the GPU may get in the way.

aside from those, they're fine for a single card gaming PC.

I'm afraid that I'm not well versed in UK prices. You might want to post a thread asking for a budget motherboard recommendation.
Smaller motherboards leave your components closer together, which is bad for cooling for a number of reasons.

Edit: Hazle makes a good point, with only one GPU there would be fewer issues.
