That doesn't look like a standard ATX board.
>>57291683
>i like that it doesn't have proper cooling put on it
Don't expect it to be good, then.
>>57291694
ya neither is my current which is also from gigabyte so i assume they are about the same shape
>>57291698
>i/o shrouds and large fancy tin hunks are "proper cooling"
it has all the cooling a board will need

When a motherboard is smaller than its rated size, it is a clear signal that they did some cost cutting.
it only has a 16x and 4x slot
if you wanna use 2 graphics cards, you're gonna have to use AMD cards, unless you wanna hack SLI to use NVIDIA.
It's worse than just that though, because 4x slots begin to bottleneck cards that have over 2gb of ram
The integrated graphics is an unnecessary expense, unless you're actually planning on using it for some reason.
Other than that it seems okay, reviews are a bit sketchy... Everyone seems to avoid overclocking with it.
Wouldn't recommend with its price

so would i be better off spending a little more and getting this?

Well a major red flag is that your primary motivation for liking it is aesthetics
>>57291900
no my primary motivation is number of usb and sata ports its just a nice thing that its not "gaming" branded

Here's one slightly more aesthetically pleasing, it comes with a $20 rebate, so it's essentially $90

This one's much much better!

I'd just get this, and send in the rebate
