I need to find a good micro ATX gaming motherboard for my case thats cheap.
Ive bought everything except for the MOBO.
Make sure everything is compatible please.
I'm looking around the 100$ range but if you go a little higher its ok.
HINT:I do not want the Mobo on this website!

Thanks to anyone that helps!
Sincerely,

If you want to overclock ,won't pick m-ATX board.I would pick ATX board ,like MSI 970 GAMING ,good quality and nice heatsink would good for overclock FX8320.

Motherboard tier list: 970 chipset
Tier One-Class A: Very High quality. Great boards for OCing, have optional SLI capability but more importantly can OC FX 8 well, if you have to get a 970 chipset board, these will be your top choice. High quality, and no overheating issues.
970 GAMING is a much better option in this regard.

Motherboard: MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($99.89 @ Newegg)
Total: $99.89
Prices include shipping, taxes, and...
after further review, get the one listed, as it is the best for the price, and all the others, are not known for reliability.
frankly, if possible, get a full atx motherboard, as they have more features, and seem to be more reliable according to ratings.
 
that is odd, I missed your first reply, sorry. pretty much, if you want a good motherboard for around $100 go with a atx motherboard, it will have more useful features on it, and since its price is elevated it should have better overclocking ability.
