Hi

I was wondering if it would be worth it to spend an extra $50-65 on a Atx motherboard when I could just get a micro Atx motherboard. What would you need in the your build to make it worth having the bigger Atx motherboard(e.g. 2 GPU). I am in Australia for any pricing concerns by the way.

Thanks

If you'll be overclocking the CPU most full size ATX boards have better power VRM than mATX boards. Power phase design is important for a good stable overclock. A low budget mATX board is not going to be optimal for overclocking. If you're not overclocking then it doesn't really matter.
