I noticed that your power supply is rated E on the tier list, which isn’t ideal. It might be worth it to invest in a more reliable PSU for better performance and safety.
Overall, it looks okay, but keep in mind that you have a micro ATX motherboard in a full ATX case. It may look a bit odd with all that empty space, but functionally it should work just fine!
Thanks for the heads-up! Is it worth the price you think?
That motherboard isn't the best choice, to put it mildly. You might want to consider a different board that offers better features.
Do you have any other recommendations for a better motherboard?
Any specific PSUs you would recommend?
