Is this a good mobo for gaming? I'm not really concerned about "extra" features. I just want it to work with a processor like the amd fx-4170 and ddr3 ram.

and how about that one?

I would pick Gigabyte over Biostar.

Do you have a need for a micro-ATX board? Usually with a game system you go with ATX to get the full use of the PCI slots and the space between them for cooling.

well, I mean, I don't absolutely NEED it but i do have a mid tower case that's a bit on the smaller side

Just realize you give up the slots of a full size mb. Normally micro ATX boards are for HTPCs.

gotcha. that makes sense then. Will pick up an atx then

I like Gigabyte and Asus.

Try this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128521
it is slightly cheaper after shipping if you include the rebate.

oh nice! Thank you for the suggestion.
