I'm planning on building a new gaming pc at some point in the future (hopefully soon). I'm still in college, so space is at a premium and i'm still moving around a lot. Because of this, i'm thinking of getting a micro or mini itx motherboard to save space. What are your thoughts and opinions?

Mini ITX won't be good for gaming, not enough room for a good graphics card. I suggest with at least a Micro ATX board.
Well... not sure how good this GPU is, but it looks like it'd fit a mini itx board.

Yeah, and some cards do come with low-profile brackets for slimmer cases, but they aren't anywhere near as good. Your best bet would probably be the micro atx board.

4315795 Thanks, I'll look into micro atx then. Hopefully I can get a summer job so I can actually afford it.
