Hi, recently i asked here and got my answer aboit matx mobos on atx cases. Since answer is positive, i decided to buy MSI B150M PRO-VDH. I will buy i3-6100 as a cpu. So i've 2 questions:

1. Why is almost same mobo in Atx form is ~30$ expensive?

2. On msi site there is a ram support list for this mobo, but I've planned to buy a ram also which isn't on the list. But compatible rams and rams i selected almost same (only difference is brand though) both are 2133mhz, 1.2v, ddr4.. So this will create a problem. Rams i selected to buy is Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB 2133MHz DDR4 Ram (HX421C14FB/8)

Atx motherboards are normally at a higher price because they supply you with more features and often better cooling, and your paying for more pcie lanes to crossfire or sli, there are normally only slight proformance gains when using a Atx motherboard and with your i3 6100 you cant over clock anyways, and for your ram and brand of ram will work aslong as its is with in spec of the motherboard
