Really you can get away with one in the middle and outside screws really. mAtx usually uses about 6 and a FATX can use 9 but you could get away with no slotting 3 in and it will be fine.

Oh ok thank you for this reply, makes me feel better in case in the future if i wanted a Full ATX board, though to make things easier in future, i may just choose another Micro ATX, as imagine it would be same standoffs if i got another Micro Atx in future if and when i upgrade board, and processor again in a few years
