Ok, I was about to buy the parts for a rig before noticing I'd chosen a microATX mobo: Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2, Intel P55 Express, S1156, DDR3 2200, SATA 3Gb/s, SATA RAID, ATX for these components:
Intel Core i5 750, s1156, Lynnfield, Quad Core
1GB XFX HD 5850
650W Corsair CMPSU-650TX
4GB (2x2GB) Corsair TwinX XMS3, DDR3 PC3-10666 (1333) CAS 9-9-9-24
and this case: Coolermaster CM-690 V2 Dominator Black Midi Tower Case
Then I read around a little about microATX mobos and came across a post saying they aren't suitable for gaming. Is that right? If so, could someone perhaps kindly suggest a decent mobo from http://www.scan.co.uk/ that would complement this rig nicely? I really don't know what I'm looking out for when choosing motherboards. This rig will be used primarily, if not exlusively, for gaming.
Many thanks in advance.
