if going for a gaming build only with a single gfx card,a dedicated sound card ,cpu(not overclocked)with cooler and a good gaming cabinet how form factor of motherboard is important ..we know that going for micro atx with save some bucks is that mean sacrificing cooling of components to a greater extent.will going for a micro-atx good enough for budget gaming build ..like gtx 560 card ,intel core i5 2400(probably with stock heatsink) ,asus xonar dg pci card,xfx pro 550w,and antec 300 case..
