I have a Intel Core 2 Wolfdale LGA775 Processor.

My case supports motherboards 12 x 11 Inches.
I also don't mind on-board sound. But I don't want On-board video.

Because of my case size do I have to get a Micro ATX?

And what motherboards would you guys recommend for gaming. (More high end).

One last thing.

Which is better Gigabyte or Asus.

Your case supports ATX motherboards.

Be cautious that you may have to use another processor to BIOS flash support for the Wolfdale.

A few more good choices are..

and

All assuming you will use DDR2 memory.

If your case has space for the brackets for 7 cards, then it will support a full size ATX board. If it doesn't have those, then it won't.
