Hello,
I researched a little bit and got lost in the jungle of information surrounding Motherboards. Since I couldn't come to a conlusion which Mobo I should buy, I thought asking you experts would be the best thing.
I am searching for a Z87 Mobo since I want to be able to overclock my I5 4670. The Mobo should of course meet the current standards (SATA III,...) and should definitely support dual SLI with big cards. Something that is important to me too is a place to connect my case fans since I am tired of adjusting them manually and want them to automatically adjust their RPM.
Everything below 200€ is inside my budget.
I hope I was specific enough, so you can help. Thanks for that.

Get a m-atx board, it will perform just as good as the larger boards, and take up less space.

Thank you for the enormously fast answers.
I currently run an Asus GTX 670 and plan to buy another one soon, so my question is whether an Asus Graphics card runs "smoother" or "better" with an Asus Mobo compared to another manufacturer or if it doesn't matter.

Keep in mind these micro ATX boards give you only double spacing between the PCI-E 3.0 connectors so your two 670's will be right against each other so the second 670 will run considerably hotter. The larger ATX boards triple space the first and second PCI-E 3.0 connectors. Also the larger ATX boards give you more room for your CPU cooler. You really don't want to use the micro boards unless you really need to.
