M-ATX vs ATX

[ASPEEDYNINJA]

i am wondering weather it's worth buying a cheaper board (M-ATX) so i can spend the money on a better GPU etc. or to get an ATX board. I dont plan on doing crossfire or sli so that doesn't really matter. What do you guy think?

go micro, not much difference as far as specs aside from cf/sli abilities... i did see one z77 2 way sli/cf micro board. i like to keep the option to sli/cf open.

in that case does anyone have any good sugestions for a $100 micro atx board?

The difference between ATX and M-ATX really comes down to having an extra slot or two. So unless you are really looking to run SLI or Xfire or are a big audiophile in the future you are in good shape with a M-ATX.

BTW since you are getting the Intel® Core™ i5-3570K dont forget to take advantage of the promo that we just launched http://www.intelgamingpromo.com/intel/wintergiveaway/register
