That motherboard should be fine.

So having a Micro ATX board is fine for a i7 4790

For the CPU, yes.

 

For other expansion options, that depends. I personally don't like much smaller than full size ATX just because I like having the options to expand that ATX offers over mATX.

If you don't plan on running more than 1 or 2 expansion cards, then mATX is a good option for you.

Thanks for the input!

Dont bother changing the mobo, or CPU. The first thing on the upgrade list is the GPU
