I'd say M5A97 because it isn't a micro :tongue.gif: I use all ports on my current mobo. Always a good idea to have room for expansion. The biggest factor is no on board video. No one uses them anyway, all it does is steam system resources and your planning on buying a card regardless.
I'd go with the tiger direct Gfx card. A little higher specs but really not much difference.

The top motherboard is the one you want . I noticed you picked this case in the other thread. You might think about getting a mid tower case as either card will be a tight fit in that micro case.
