Hi all,

 

I am looking to build a MicroATX gaming PC with at least 8 USB 2.0/3.0 ports.  Anyone know of a particular brand/model motherboard that would support this?

 

Also, any other part recommendations would be terrific.

 

I like the portability, and I would like the 8 or so usb - it seems to me like that is sort of uncommon with the ATX boards - I am not even completely sure whether that is possible or not.

 

Thanks for your help!! 

 

EDIT:  Also, plan on overclocking, and want something with the good TMU/VRAM GPU for pc gaming mods implementing high resolution textures

Gigabyte's Z97 mATX board (forgot the exact name) might fit your needs. Not sure on a case, however.

....wrong sub forum, try posting in New Builds and Planning.  ;)

Sorry bout that - let me know if there is a way to move the post - I am new here.  If it's not too big of a deal, I will take that into consideration next time.

No way to move it, just make a new topic, and rename this topic wrong sub forum. Be sure to include things like budget, location, and preferences. 

I should be studying.
