The i5 7600 really isn't worth the added cost, vs a 7500. The 7500 is a very good CPU, but I believe will fall behind the 1600, in future titles that support more than 4 cores. For WoW/LoL, it is plenty at this time.

A bit over the $900 ceiling, but well rounded enough to handle any game, at 1080p, while better multithreaded support for future titles.

Performance is the same. You get fewer PCI-e slots, not lanes. Chipset and CPU determine lanes. Only the really low end boards have fewer slots, in most instances. Quad channel x99 boards being the exception to that rule. Not enough room for 8 slots, on such a board, in micro atx. The ATX version isn't much more, if you want it. I would look at the features of both, then decide which one suits you best.

My bad, I got the terminology mixed up. Yeah, the only two applications where I would recommend a micro atx over a regular atx board are if you are on a very strict budget, or if you are aiming for a smaller build. If you are doing the typical mid tower build and aren't looking to save space, I'd just go for the regular atx.

I personally think it looks better, considering it fills out the case a little more. I have a few mid towers with micro atx boards and the proportions look a little weird in my opinion. So add that to the fact that you are likely getting more features with the atx (depending on which one you buy of course) and I think it's kind of a no brainer.

HOWEVER, you are on a budget, and I think the builds logainofhades made look pretty good for your budget, and if you end up having to sacrifice the cpu, ram, or the gpu to get the regular atx, I definitely wouldn't do it.
