I just need to figure out if the standoffs that came with the case are sufficient and what types of screws I need to get to mount the motherboard.

If the standoffs could be better then, what types of screws and standoffs do you recommend for mounding in this case?

M3 or #6-32 UNC are most commonly used as the motherboard screw & standoff standard.

I've worked out all the particular's, including cooling.

I just need to figure out if the standoffs that came with the case are sufficient and what types of screws I need to get to mount the motherboard.

If the standoffs could be better then, what types of screws and standoffs do you recommend for mounding in this case?
