I'm on a very tight budget.

Provided you don't use a badly built PSU, yes they should work but it'd be a good idea to answer the above questions as well. Though I should point out, your thread titled motherboard make and model and (partial) description are conflicting. The MSI B550-A Pro is an atx motherboard, not a micro atx motherboard, it's what the A at the end of the B550- designates. If it was an matx motherboard, the A would've been an M. That leads me to ask, which board are you actually looking at? People have been mislead with seller listed info in the past.

Get a dual channel DDR4-3600Mhz ram kit instead.

CPU: Ryzen 5600
Motherboard: MSI B550M-A PRO AM4 Micro ATX

I wouldn't get that board. No cooling on the VRM area.

Chassis: Montech X3 Mesh
If you're getting an matx motherboard, get an matx chassis to pair with it.

^ That's my opinion, other community members can chime in on the matter. I'd get something that has cooling over the VRM on a board. Regardless of overclocking. We've come across many people who tend to overclock their boards eventually(if the function is there). If you didn't know, in order to get to DDR4-3200MHz, you're going to have to overclock the ram and in turn the IMC of that Ryzen processor.

"OK"

"Ok. I will probably change that"

Chassis: Montech X3 Mesh

"I was considering this chassis because it comes with 6 RGB fans, which I thought would provide adequate airflow. Can I properly fit a Micro ATX board into this chassis? "Do I need to purchase an ATX board?"
