in this case it does, how many systems have you actually built?  take a very close look at the location and height of the sata connectors in relation to pci-e slot 1.
I've built 10 to 15 systems.

There is no conflict with the SATA.  They are mounted on their side for a reason.

However,  this is the one I am looking at now:

MSI Z87I GAMING AC LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard

those sata connectors appear to be stacked and looking at the height in relation to the pci-e slots and the chipset shroud, if your video card has a fan shroud on it...won't clear.

that mini-itx board wouldn't have any architecture issues in regard to the video card. clearance for the hyper-212 cpu cooler would be the only real concern.
