    Nice little AMD mainboard - 760g chipset. Has onboard video to get you up and running too. $51.99 and A/R is a mere $41.99. What is nice about it is that it has Mosfet Heatsinks on it as well so it should run up to an FX 8320 at stock settings. FX6300 should OC some. This is great for a simple build in a micro case.

    Yes and an inexpensive board from a quality maker that has 4 memory slots is a winner! Tiger Direct has this in most of their Barebones Value packs.

    Yeah that board is a really nice Micro with the heatsinks on the mosfets, and it has realtek ALC 892 onboard sound instead of ALC 887 which is what most simpler micro AMD boards have and that is nice as well as 892 is higher spec'ed, and as you see there is no room to add a soundcard if you use a two slot GPU.

    There is a pci slot you could use for soundcard but I really wonder why they bother to waste the pci-e slot under the video card slot when so many cards today take 2 slots.

    Indeed so that slot in most cases will be unusable because most GPU's used with that board will be dual slot. At least it has decent onboard audio! You can also get a USB headset to work around that issue if you really desire premium sound.
