Is there any particular reason you chose micro-ATX over ATX? As a gaming PC, ATX will offer you much more flexibility and more options(more USB ports, PCi-e lanes, headers, cooling options and support for larger cards). Micro-ATX also limits your upgradability as you will almost certainly be limited by size when you choose upgrades.

[Guest D.Whitehurst]

Actually cards can vary greatly in size from 5" all the way to 12". The larger card's tend to only fit in Mid-Tower or bigger cases.

 

Here is a size comparison of 8800GT's from different manufacturers.

 

PNY - GeForce 8800GT - 512 MB - 8.5"

XFX - GeForce 8800 GT - 512 MB - 9"

BFG - GeForce 8800 GT - 512 MB - 9"

PALIT - GeForce 8800 GT - 512 MB - 8.5"

yes but lol the motherboard has nothing todo with card sizes inless it would block a slot or somthing. i must have read wrong :P

Yes but if your case only supports micro ATX chances are its a smaller case and there might be some problems with the size...

 

EDIT - Looked it up: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156241&Tpk=RAIDMAX%20Quantum

 

It's a Mid-Tower and supports ATX, hard to tell which build you're going with but should be fine.

[Guest RET.CW4.ThievingSix=US=]

Also if your willing to put in an extra $20-$50 i'd definitely go with a GTX 460. As detailed in this review http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-460-gf104-fermi,2684-14.html the GTX 460 outperforms the GTX 465 and uses less power and produces comparatively less heat. The galaxy version of that card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162056 It's about $20 more than your 465.
