I am planning on building an mATX portable LAN gaming PC. I hear however that that mobos in that size are horrific for the FX series of AMD CPUs. Is that true, should I go with an A10 CPU instead? Or can you make an FX-8350 work well on an mATX board and keep it cool enough to game. (of so...mobo recommendations pls).

Well i was assuming you were building a gaming rig for lan partys and would therefore be purchasing a seperate GPU in which case the apu is a waist of money and the Athlon i stated OCs better and CPU wise is just as strong so save the money and invest it in the gpu.
