I just purchased an X370E Taichi motherboard and realized it's wider than my computer case can accommodate. The dimensions are 267mm for the motherboard, while my Lian Li V100 mid-tower case only supports up to 246mm. Will this cause any issues when I try to run cables, or should I just return my case for a larger one?

Yeah, that sounds like it's going to be a problem. I'd recommend returning your case and getting one that can fit your motherboard properly. There are plenty of options out there!
Just so you know, you don't necessarily need to stick with the top-tier X370E. A B350 motherboard could be a great alternative without sacrificing performance too much, and it typically costs around $180-$200. Plus, using pcpartpicker.com can help you check compatibility before buying.
From what I remember, the X370E is actually an E-ATX motherboard. So yeah, you’ll definitely need a case that supports that size to avoid any issues.
