The only thing micro about that rig is the motherboard which WILL NOT overclock that 2500K CPU. I would suggest a Z68 series MB. Find one here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007627+600093977+600158412+600009017&QksAutoSuggestion=&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Configurator=&IsNodeId=1&Subcategory=280&description=&hisInDesc=&Ntk=&CFG=&SpeTabStoreType=&AdvancedSearch=1&srchInDesc=
If you do overclock you will need a heat sink-fan . A Cooler Master Hyper212+ is $30USD or even $20 when on sale at www.Newegg.com
As long as the case is at least 8.1" wide it will fit the HSF.
Also, for about the same price of those micro-ATX MB's you can get a regular ATX MB which has 2 PCIe16 slots which will do SLI.

You need to change Motherboard, There are few options in this size .

Asus Maximus IV gene Z68 , EVGA Micro Z68 Sli Ready, Evga Micro p67 Sli Ready. i got 1 evga micro z68 its a nice board with a lots of premmiums, But It looks like a Freaking Circus, so many leds and in diferrent Colours. Everything is k, Just change the Cooler Too.
