This platform should be in a full tower. However it fits well into a mid tower with ease. I suggest full tower due to the expansions built into this board(asus.com). I havent been able to find a game yet that can video lag. This is a board to start with if you are on a budget and looking add on as money comes in. Start with I3cpu,2 gig ram, ptical drive and storage drive and your ready to game. The only dislike I have was audio inputs from case are too close to the edge of the board but thats it. Best thing I like is all the Auto settings. No more tweaking unless thats what makes you happy. I havent had a need to try the new sata 6 yet or usb 3.0 but its nice to know its there for future add-ons I went with 750 psu, 4 gig rams, I5750cpu, 250gighd, lightscribe optical drive and 1024 nvidia pciex16. $625.-ebay. Thanks ebay and your vendors.Read full review
I installed this motherboard in my first "custom built" computer. Paired with an Intel i3 CPU, it greatly out performs all other computers I have ever used. I am currently using only 8 GB of RAM which I plan to double to it's maximum of 16. The HD video and 7.1 sound are fantastic. One important note; you must have a 64 bit copy of Windows (I use 7 Premium) to enjoy the performance I am so pleased to report! You will not need any adaptors or USB hubs because this has more ports of all types than I can use at this time.
This is a great motherboard. i have always trusted ASUS components. the design and colors are amazing. The speed and integrated peripherals are just what i needed
This Motherboard is one of the best motherboards ive had im using it to build my own custom computer. I recommend buyin this ir is very nice.
