You would be able to over clock cpu fine (choose this as i know its only 160mm tall) others such at mount doom and that could fit but again Doomspeed will keep you wright :)

There aren't any suitable micro-ATX boards for the CPU unfortunately. You could look at one of the smaller ATX case, like this:

That would let you use a similarly priced motherboard in the system, e.g.

I can't believe that, are AMD that short-sighted? Not decent mATX board the intel side is PLASTERED with Great affordable mATX motherboards and AMD can't commision one?

It'd be a shame to change the 350D..

Apparently the board manufacturers think there's no demand for micro ATX or mini ITX FX boards because it has no integrated graphics.
