Could I use this motherboard link for gaming? Will there be any issues? I want to upgrade my motherboard from an HP OEM one so that it will fit a standard power supply.

Should run fun, but realize, there is no audio, usb3, and many server boards make the primary gpu the igpu(so you need to use the vga port if you want to see the bios or boot menu).

I have the i5-3470. Since it's a prebuilt compact system, the motherboard has proprietary power ports for the main and the CPU.

Save yourself the trouble and just get this:

For $10 you avoid all issues and weird placements of things on a server board.

I was looking at that but when you go to the SuperBiiz page, you see "Discontinued" .
