hi everyone!

so, as i said in the title, i need a case that supports my motherboard and i never really figured out how to find out if my case is ATX or microATX (now that i think about it, i don't even know what ATX means lol). i need it to be cheap and to do its job decently well. i'd also like it to be pink/purple cuz i wanna do a vaporwave themed build. can anybody help me? thanks in advance!

Very few cases are made in colors besides black/gray/white, and the ones that do are often junk meant to appeal to people who care more about a certain look than they do practical considerations. You would be better off using lighting to get the a e s t h e t i c you're going for.

ATX is a standard form factor. Micro ATX is a bit smaller and doesn't need all the same standoff mounting points. Both have their pros and cons, but a full ATX is more likely to have certain more desirable features than a Micro-ATX. That said, A320 is a bit older and at least most of them don't support 3200 Mhz RAM, if any do at all, and 3200 Mhz is kind of the standard for performance these days. Any particular reason you chose or are sticking with this board?

mainly because i got it new from ebay for like 40 bucks and i thought it was a good price. besides, i saw a video by Dawid Does Tech Stuff (if i recall correctly) where they tested different ram speeds and the difference in performance was like 1 or 2 fps so who cares. not to mention that if i have ram that can go as fast as 3733mhz and i underclock it, it'll last longer. the real problem with my rig is the ryzen 3 1200 i'm stuck with lol
