I'm looking for a MicroATX AMD motherboard that is compatible with the Sapphire Radeon R9 270x 4GB DDR5 and AMD Fx 8350 processor, something that isn't too expensive. trying to keep it under $100. The motherboard that is currently installed in my computer is the MZ1-7641, (Also know as Z1-7641 or AMD 760G) and my current processor is AMD Fx 6300 3.5GHz, and i don't think it will support the two components I listed above that I'm buying soon to install, but if they are compatible please let me know! I've looked all over the internet for 2 days now trying to figure out if it is or not but I am not sure. Thank you in advance!
 
Any mATX board with a PCIe x16 slot will support that card. PCIe is a backward compatible interface. Just look at the web page for the board you decide on and check the CPU compatibility list to be sure it supports the 125W FX-8350. But at present, there are only a couple mATX that will and are suitable for OC'ing.
