Hey guys well i need some help on picking a motherboard for a new SFF build. Not only is this my first SFF but also a build for my girlfriend. Well here are the parts i have so far:

Case-Blue Microfly with 400watt powersupply

CPU-E6300 DUAL CORE

Ram-1GB CORSAIR XMS2 DDR 800

Hard drive-Western Digital 160 SATA 2

Burner-Samsung Lightsrcribe DVD Burner

Motherboard-???

Well basically I need help looking for something that falls along these specs:
1. Mini Atx
2. Compatible with the Ram. It requires 1.9 volts from what i have read.
3. Onboard video.
3. No AGP slots only Pci express because down the road i would like to buy her a cheap pci express card.
4. Has Sata 2 slots.
5. Can do somewhat of an overclock. I know the chip is at 1.8 so maybe a nice oc to about 2.4 possibly higher would be nice.

The boards i have been looking at so far are:
ASUS P5B-VM- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131043
ASUS P5L-VM- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131046
GIGABYTE GA-965GM-S2- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128024
MSI G965M-FI- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130078

If anyone has ANY suggestions they would greatly be appreciated. Thanks Guys.

You dont think the 400watt will be enough to last for a few months untill i can throw in a better one?

its better than what comes in an aspire x-qpack (which doesn't say much, mine is too light to even use as a doorstop lol)
 
Well i only plan to use the included PSU for a little while. But just in case i see anything on sale what psu would be a good choice for the microfly?
 
Hmm another problem i just remembered is that i purchased an OEM E6300 which didn't come with a fan. Can anyone help me as far as buying a new fan for this baby to fit in the microfly? I don't need anything crazy since its for my girls case but if there are any cool small heatsink fans out there that look like the blue orb or anything else thats pretty small that would be great.
