Thanks Obione. Just one question about the SATA, and it is that it does not have SATA3 and I will not get the most out of the disks. Will I notice a loss of "performance"?
How is the B75 chipset? I see this one that is within the possibilities, http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4463#sp
Thank you very much.
Best regards.

I haven't said anything. The other gigabyte uses SO-DIMM modules :wall:

The official website says this:
Storage Interface Chipset:
2 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors (SATA2_0, SATA2_1) supporting up to 2 SATA 3Gb/s devices
1 x eSATA 3Gb/s connector on the back panel supporting up to 1 SATA 3Gb/s devicehttp://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3963#sp
So it does have Sata 3.
Another thing is that you might want something similar with more connections. I'm not up to speed on Intel, but this board looks similar to the one you indicated and has 4 SATA 3 ports.
Storage:
4 x SATA 3Gb/s port(s), blue

Sata 3 Gb/s is not Sata 3, it's Sata 2. Sata 3 is at 6 Gb/s

Damn, that's true, get the B75 then, I forgot that they don't have SATA 3 (if you see one it will be with a chustas controller). The problem is that there are few options in 1155 ITX, I saw a Z77 on Amazon for 200 euros xD

Sata 3 Gb/s is not Sata 3, it's Sata 2. Sata 3 is at 6 Gb/s
True :facepalm:
Anyway, it's a pain that a platform that's not many years old doesn't have SATA 3
Anyway, I don't know if it's worth it for him to switch to the 1150 platform, selling his micro and motherboard, because as of today I wouldn't buy anything without SATA 3 if SSDs are used, as is his case.

Thanks, chickens.
I had looked at the Asrock but the second-hand market gives me "laziness", and even more laziness gives me going back to the sata thing. If I switched to the 1150, which processor similar to my current one (which is more than enough for me) would be worth putting in?
Best regards.
[Uffff, from 180 euros the i5. Maximum pain. Maybe it will stop giving me laziness quickly ;D]

The other option is not to go so far in "smallness" and just go down to micro-ATX. There are also cool cases and the range of motherboards is a bit more varied... Damn, how good it is when there is a lot of work and you don't have time to think about the computer :ffu:

Good morning. In the end I am going to go for a micro-atx. I have found at a good price an Asrock H77 PRO4-M whose characteristics are much more "pro" and that is within my budget. Although the case will be a little bigger (type Lian Li Pc-v355) and the price goes up a little, it still compensates me.
Thanks to all.
Best regards.
