Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building a new gaming PC and have chosen the Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus WiFi motherboard. I'm a bit unsure if it's the right fit for my other components. Can anyone share their thoughts on whether this motherboard is good enough? Also, do you think all the parts will physically fit together? I really appreciate any insight you can provide!

The Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus WiFi should be fine for your build. All your components should fit without any issues. Just keep in mind that while many B650 boards support PCIe 4.0, if you have a 5.0 GPU, you won't lose performance using PCIe 4.0. Also, check that the USB ports and WiFi capabilities meet your needs.
I have the same concerns about dust and heat in my room. Since you're considering liquid cooling, I'd recommend an air cooler like the Thermalright Phantom Spirit unless you're really keen on an AIO. AIOs can be overkill unless you're pushing a Ryzen 9 and overclocking. But given your environment, you might need to decide based on how hot your room gets!
The B650 motherboard is good to go. Personally, I'm not a fan of ASUS boards, but this one should work well for you. Just make sure it has enough connectivity options for your needs.
Yeah, my room can get pretty hot and dusty. Do you think an air cooler would be sufficient under those conditions, or should I stick with an AIO?
