(USA) Is this a good deal?

standard ATX boards and cases?

But at this point, we are off topic, as you are comparing apples to oranges, at least regarding form factor. Space is limited, hence my desire for an ITX form factor, telling me a larger board is cheaper, doesn't really solve my question, as the space then becomes an issue.

I would recommend considering mATX instead of ITX if possible since you would be able to spend more money out of your budget on important components such as the processor, graphics cards, RAM, etc that affect performance more directly. Although, it should be noted that you are going to need a more expensive PSU, case, and motherboard going with ITX than mATX or even ATX (it's not only the problem of a more expensive motherboard).

Correct, the boards shown in my screenshot are all micro ATX boards, the point which I was trying to explain was that you can save money on the motherboard and even possibly the case by going microATX instead of the regular ATX form factor (money that could be put towards better components). Of course, this may come with a few limits added such as possible fewer memory slots, lower maximum supported RAM, more limited support with large GPUs (which is why I recommended the Gigabyte B450M DS3H specifically out of these boards). I don't understand why you think that better prices can be had with ATX since mATX boards and cases are usually cheaper than the standard ATX boards and cases?

I only said mITX is the more expensive form factor than others, nothing more. OP already set the limit to mITX board only so what you said is irrelevant
