Hey, first-timer here. I never built a computer, and there's many things about them that I do not know. I'm building a computer with a budget of less than $1000 (preferably $800). I'm currently having a hard time finding what is compatible with what. Here's what I have right now:

Graphics Card:
EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GAMING 4GB(04G-P4-6251-KR)
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_1200_557_559&item_id=101792

Memory
KINGSTON - KVR 8GB 1600MHZ DDR3 CL10 DIMM HYPERX FURY SERIES
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_1200_557_559&item_id=101792

CPU
AMD X6 FX-6300 (95W)
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=4_1210_64&item_id=053298

Storage
Hard Drive (HDD) Seagate 1TB 3.5" SATA3 64MB Cache Internal HDD

I'm still not sure about which case I'm going to purchase or the power supply but that's probably not important when considering a motherboard.

You can use a mid-tower case for an ATX form factor motherboard or a mini-tower case for a micro-ATX form factor motherboard.

AM3+ motherboards:
The best chipset is 990FX only available on ATX form factor models.
The 970 chipset is good.

ASRock 970M Pro3 is the only 900 series chipset available in micro-ATX form factor.

760G chipset models are an old model that may not support everything on the latest operating systems.
