Formula > rest - Gene hero and impact are just different form factors

 

Hero - ATX

Gene - mATX

Impact - mini ITX

 

Formula is really overpriced though and not really worth the money

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

BUT THE LOOKS OF IT! :D Formula is for those who love to look in their case and do a lot of oc etc. There is a lot of better motherboards specialy designed for OC but Formula is the TRUE ENTHUSIAST motherboard :)

The motherboard makes 0 difference to performance unless you go balls to the wall extreme which you will not do.
