I'm looking to build my first micro computer, I don't plan on doing hardcore overclocking since heat can be an issue inside such a small case, but I'd like the option available if I find it feasable. I plan on using this case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133035) since with small modifications can fit a 8800 GTX and it looks nice =)

Anywho, I was looking at MicroATX motherboards and I notice there are plenty of 965G's, but 0 965P's. The last tower I built I used the 965G, I hadn't done my research and found out too late that it lacked pretty much any overclocking ability, the P however is quite powerful in its ability to overclock. So can anyone recommend a motherboard of the MicroATX variety that has some overclocking in it? I want to build a micro gaming powerhouse :D

Nice case BUT, there could be a problems with a 8800GTX. A GTS fits OK. The cooling might also be a problem, particularly of you want to overclock.
