[SOLVED] Confused on motherboard size

[TheProSlayerr21]

This might be a dumb question but I'm trying to figure out if this motherboard would fit on my case. I'm really confused by what it means when it says it supports up to ATX motherboard. Just for a reference, this is the back of my pc.

Thanks for any help!

From the Asrock website -- Micro ATX Form Factor
From the NewEgg specs page -- Motherboard Compatibility Micro ATX / ATX / Mini-ITX
So they both show "Micro ATX" There should be no size compatibility problems.

You're a savior.

Your motherboard is MATX in size. That means 4 expansion slots.
The case is a ATX case with 7 expansion slots.
You are good from that point of view since a smaller motherboard fits in a large case, but not vice versa.

But, looking at the case, you are buying it for looks, not for performance.
A single 120mm front intake will not offer good cooling for anything but a low power system.
I think there are better options, even in that price range.
