Lol, no problem. I kind of like reading in different languages every once in a while.

It doesn't matter, the form factor doesn't have anything to do with the power delivery. It supports the TDPs of all AM3+ CPUs and has an 8-pin power connector. It's THE BEST AMD budget board and it give you more case options and $20 to work with. The 970 Extreme3 isn't a bad buy by any means, but $20 can go a lot further elsewhere. You also will not notice any difference between SSDs on SATA II and III during regular usage.

Also, I assume a Mid/full tower has the appropriate standoffs to accomodate a micro? >.<

Yep, the motherboard tray should be marked and the 200R comes with the standoffs installed.

That's smart, i agree, I'm all about saving money if you already couldn't tell XD. I just thought the Extreme3 would be little more future proof for the extra 20 bucks, if I knew what i know now i would've gone with that 760g board over this damned MSI 970 board im on right now a while ago. I'm oc'd at 4.2 and this thing just doesn't agree with anything higher than that. Mainly because 125w is absolute max TDP, anything over and it gets shaky.

Also, I need a keyboard. It seems to have gotten left out, and reccomendations for a nice one for around 25$?

That one isn't better at all, the Viewsonic is an IPS panel with thin bezel, at that price you really can't get anything better, and i've never heard of CTL?

I left it out because $25 won't get you anything worth recommending. Rosewill discontinued the RK-800G which was the best rubber-dome board I'm aware of.

Why?

Oh, ok. lol What KB would you recommend then r00t?
