Micro ATX compatible with i7 3770K
The 3770K works well and is manageable. Your 16 GB RAM could be either two 8 GB modules or four 4 GB modules. There are many choices available, but the most important factor is what's accessible in your area.
There are many quality boards available compared to those that aren't. Check the local used market for P67, Z68, or Z77 boards if you plan to overclock a 3770K, see what options exist, and verify before proceeding. Board prices vary widely—something like a Maximus IV Gene near you might be around $50, while elsewhere it could range from $200 or more.
