Can overclocking for games (GPU, through bios...) be done with this mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157309&Tpk=ASRock%20N68-VS3%20FX&IsVirtualParent=1?

Also is there any micro ATX mobo out there(like the one on top) with length that is less than 8'7 inches (22,2 cm) with AM3+ ?

And is there (which I HIGHLY doubt and clearly will appear as dumb) a mobo with pci on width rather than length?
 
That's an ancient-tech board with a modern socket tacked onto it. If you're interested in overclocking an AM3+ CPU, get a [true] 900-series chipset board. Although you can overclock with older 760G and 880G boards, some of them have less than maximum HT speeds, or they may lack SATA 6Gb/s and/or USB 3.0. Look for a board with heatsinks on the VRMs; cheap boards have VRMs that don't have the capacity for overclocking, and may pop under load.

Hmm I can still overclock with it, but what about GPU, RAM, etc. The point of this motherboard is to have a length less than 8.7 inch which will fit in my case.

I think I'll have that and change my case. Thanks
