Form factor: mATX
CPU socket: LGA1155
Chipset: Intel Z77
Memory slots: 2 (min) x 240-pin DIMM
Memory type: DDR3 1600/1866 --Either one.
Max memory: 16GB (min)
SATA 3GB/s: 1 (min) --HDD.
SATA 6GB/s: 1 (min) --SSD.
PCIe x16 slots: 1 (min) --For the GPU.
PCIe x1 slots: 2 (min) --I'm using a sound card and a WNA.

I don't really care about the price, but it should be around 200$.

Getting the best out of the card depends on the type of chipset not the size of the mobo so no issues

Yeah but having a atx will give u alot of room for every thing to be cnnected especially when connecting diff cards
Check this mobo a great value for money with 4x pcie x1 and 4x pcie x16 slots perfect for u -166 with shipping

And the x defines the size of the connector and the speed of interface for more info check

I was going to use a Maximus V GENE. It has two PCIe 16x slots and one PCIe 4x, but I only want to use one graphics card and I need two more x1 slots for a sound card and a wireless network adapter. Is it ok if I put one card on the 16x slot and the other one on the 4x? Or is there a more suitable mobo for my needs?
