>Getting a case with more space than you need will help you build if it's your first time.
this doesn't sound too bad for overall space, but I do see cable management looking a bit tight in the upper right on builds. probably the part i'm worried about most even with my autism. trying to find a good motherboard on part picker to plan for, but asrock seems to be having amd issues (mainly for x3d chips, planning around a 9600x so not sure if that affects me), and a lot of people bitch about gigabyte.

big thing is i'm not necessarily in it for the cool looking PC, just efficient/practical, and while my current prebuilt is a normal ATX it's also just got nowhere to go in my current room setup but a big awkward spot next to my desk since it doesn't fit with much of anything but underneath said desk (originally planned for it to be in an underhanging spot attached to the desk but the desk order didn't fucking list a smaller overhang cubby spot in there above it). microatx isn't just a consideration for "oh cool and small" but also trying to figure an optimal fit. push comes to shove, i'll probably fuck off to an atx+tomahawk or something from what I'm looking at.
