Techminister-sorry, will do next time the main reason i want a micro atx would be the size. I have limited space that i can work with and was recommended to get a micro atx. Will the micro atx desktop overheat all the time? How can i build a small(preferably the smallest) computer using...

Ok, bumping this thread for help with a problem I've been having for a while. When I play wow(at any resolution or setting), it runs perfectly smooth around 55-60 fps. But whenever a notice pops up, the song in winamp changes, or I transmit in vent, my fps suddenly drops to 30, and then to 9...
