I'm building my first PC and I've got most of the components sorted out. Here's what I've got so far: a Cherry HYTE Y70 Touch Infinite case, a Ryzen 7 7800x3D CPU, and a Geforce RTX 4060 GPU (I made a typo earlier mentioning the RTX 460). I've been using PCPartPicker to find compatible parts, but I'm having trouble finding a motherboard that fits without needing extra extensions. Any suggestions would be super helpful!

Just curious, what's your goal with this build? Are you aiming for high-performance gaming, or are you using it primarily for work? Also, do you value aesthetics over performance? That might help narrow down your motherboard choices.
You might want to look for a B650 motherboard that has the necessary ports and internal connections, like M.2 slots and fan headers. If you're considering PCIe 5.0 for future upgrades, that's an option, but not crucial right now. Personally, I’d go for the least expensive motherboard that doesn't come with a flimsy I/O shield. That case is quite pricey for a first build. You could save some cash and get a cheaper case to potentially upgrade your GPU to something like a 9070XT later on.
Is this build intended for something like 700 fps in CS2 at 480p or a similar setup? Spending $400 on a case when you're working with a lower-end GPU seems off. Are you mainly focusing on aesthetics, or are you looking to maximize performance?
