i currently have an atx build and im looking to upgrade to broadwell soon, and i am debating whether or not to go microatx. i only have 2 pci devices and i would be getting the corsair obsidian 300d or get the define r4 if i decide to go atx. any suggestions would be helpful

My 2 cents worth .
If you have an ATX case then get an ATX board unless you desperately need to save a few pennies

If you were building in an m-ATX case then you lose nothing but a couple of slots and for many years this was my preference . I dont think I missed anything , but I did gain some space under my desk

Yes i think that would be my best option because i am planning on getting a fan controller and atx has more room to expand, I like how mATX is small though
