Hi Guys, my computer died(RIP). So working on a new one now, but having problems with the motherboard. I am going MicroATX and using a Corsair Cabide Air 240 Case. Also a i5-6600 FC 3.30 Ghz CPU. I'm not going to be overclocking, and SLI is not really going to happen.

For the mobo I have been looking at the Gigabyte Gaming 5 MicroATX, It is $150 and seems like a great choice. Ultimately I do not care about the SLI, but would love more USB ports, cheaper would be nice as well, so I can afford a Nvidia 970

Thanks for the help

The Gigabyte is a quality board and about every feature you would want or need. The on board audio is exceptional. I have the ATX flavor and like it very much.

Thanks, it seems like a pretty awesome one, and I cannot really find one cheaper that does not seem like it is cheaper. I need USB ports, but it is not difficult to buy an expansion card, or just a expansion hub, if I find it is not enough. I think it is perfect for my son who might end up doing SLI someday.
