That is the best one I can find, and it will not do very well with overclocking that requires tweaking voltages because it doesn't have that kind of power regulation.

Thanks guys, I'm just going to switch to atx. I wanted a smaller form factor build but its fine.

Much better options for the price, although neither of these have support for SATA 3.0, 6GB/s. This one, however, supports 16 GB of RAM at the 1866 MHz standard. It also happens to look singnificantly nicer, but that is simply personal preference. Although I would probably go ahead and stuff it with 16 GB of Patriot Viper 3 1866 MHz in black. That costs about $118 for that much RAM though...
If you need relatively inexpensive then, get the MSI A970-G46. It still isn't that great at overclocking with voltage tweaks, but it does support all the latest standards, really fast RAM support and SLI/Crossfire. If oyu have more money to spend, do please consider the ASRock Extreme9 990FX.
