I'm wondering if it works with the 760k if not, any recommendations for a m-itx board for a htpc + moderate steam gaming?

I paired the board with an amd A8 (built in APU) for htpc and light steam gaming. Im able to play dota2 on high, skyrim and batman on med res.

Dunno about the 760k, but I've been running it with a Kaveri a10-7850 with no problems, so you should be fine.

1- certainly will work and I saw a clip on YouTube [ a10 7850k & gtx 780ti ]2-I have [ a10 7850k & r9 270tix ] use it in the light Mnteg games such as Call of Duty Advanced Warfare & Tomb Raider - Underworld in High or Ultra settings

Nope a lot of the mini itx boards do like the gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI. For about the same price

This would generally be considered an enthusiasts board. Many of its features are for those who like to tinker with overclocks and such. I would think that ASUS has offerings that would fit your criteria equally well at around a $100 price point, but it depends. One of the reasons I bought this board is for the toslink port which seems to be missing on many of the less expensive boards. I would say if you see an ASUS board at a lower price point that has the configuration you want, but maybe not quite as aggressive a bios, I would save some money and pick that up, but I do highly recommend this board otherwise.

Definitely, i also have a ASUS board in mine, i have the M5A99FX PRO R2.0, had no problem. Here's a quote/link directly from Corsairs website: "Motherboard Support: Mini ITX, Micro ATX, ATX, E-ATX" http://www.corsair.com/en-us/special-edition-white-graphite-series-600t-mid-tower-case. Cheers.

125W CPUs will fry the VRM and potentially kill the CPU with it. Don't buy such a cheapo entry-level board for a demanding higher-end CPU,

Yes, the motherboard can handle it just fine. The only question would be can it fit in your case, as this board is intended for mini-itx cases. You'd need to check the dimensions of your case and see if it would fit in there fine, baring that you should have no issues provided you have suitable power.

I'm using it in this ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+ AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard Has served me well since the beginning of November anyway :D

No this is a mATX MoBo so it's bigger than a mini ITX but non the less check your case compatibility if it says it supports mATX you're all set.

I have this board and this card. It works great, just make sure you have the 4 pin molex pcie connected and 2 separate 6+2 pin connectors. I'm currently using a rosewill lightning 1300 watt to support this card since the rosewill lightning 800 watt wasn't enough

Not sure if their is anything that makes this exclusive to intel pcu or not. Corsair and Coolermaster make some pretty much identical to what this is, pretty much around the same price to that would work with AMD no problem.

Its fine for a typical middle powered htpc. Most people aren't putting top of the line graphics cards and processors in an htpc enclosure. Its designed to be quiet not for massive over clocks.

It is CRAP send it back. I went thru 2 of these and they both died so there is a problem they wont admit to on this board. buy ASUS MB they are the best. These people also have crappy support. STAY AWAY form gigabyte (I hope they feel this)

This card works just fine with Ubuntu 14.04. You will need to compile the kernel driver yourself, but you can do it. If you have any problems, there is a great page that has all the information you will need for setup and all that. It was written for the Infinitv 4 PCIe, but all the steps will work with this model as well. If you want to use it for a totally HTPC build, however, Mythbuntu is a great option (many prefer to use Kodi (formerly XBMC) for the majority of their media and use Myth TV for the TV part. http://www.bsmdevelopment.com/Reference/Sections/InstallNotes-MythTV_section-1.15.html

Yes, it can handle either of those GPUs. The bigger question is what type of system you are looking to build? Generally systems built around a mini-ITX form factor are not hard-core gaming systems. (Which is the main reason to have either of those GPUs) This is because you're immediately limited to the single GPU by the motherboard design. You also need to consider the case you'll be using as most mini-ITX cases are not able to accommodate a GPU of that physical size. If I remember correctly, Thermaltake has a case with a cutout for a standard size GPU.

I dont see why it wouldnt wok with that board.It wont improve anything in your game except the sound.Its actually a really decent card.

I just got mine, I'll try and remember to report back once we've tried it as loadbalance/failover is what we purchased it for. In the mean time I will note a lot of the reviews up are on the older side, I was looking for load balancers both here and on newegg and at newegg this model has 100 more reviews than it has here and its a solid 4/5 there so thats pretty encouraging.

I personally regret not going with the M5A99 for 2 reasons. I already had 2 Nvidia cards I planned to SLI and found out this board only supports cross fire. One of the sata ports is blocked by my video card so I am limited in adding drives since I am already using 4 ports.
