Hi there
I'm about to build a rig, that is by no means supposed to be super quick and have no interest in overclocking - so i'm just going to get a h61 socket motherboard. I have an Antec Sonata II btw!
I will be running an i5 2500 (non K) cpu, and HD 6870 - along with 8gb of ram.
Would getting a micro-atx board as apposed to an ATX hinder my ability to put all of these components on the the motherboard?
Also, i'm concerned about the space between the CPU and the ram slots, as i will be using an aftermarket cooler such as the Arctic 7 Freezer - and don't want the CPU cooler to block off any ram slots. Basically my question here is is the distance from the CPU to the RAM slots anydifferent on an ATX to a micro-atx?
Cheers!
