Is this a good build?

[Shd0w2]

Okay, I made a build, as usual, but I'm not sure if  I should pay a bit more for a better motherboard chipset, and what chipset? BTW , would the GPU be bottlenecked?

Here you go

mATX motherboard.... mITX case... 

it fits... the m-itx form factor fits micro atx motherboards.

[Izaya Orihara]

it fits... the m-itx form factor fits micro atx motherboards.

No. 

[DarrenP]

You're thinking the other way around. M-ATX fits M-ITX.

This would be better.

No. 

It literally says on newegg motherboard form factor capebility.

mATX motherboard.... mITX case... 

No the case fits a Micro ATX motherboard. Look at the amazon and it said it fits a MATX motherboard.

[91wow]

go with a R7 265, 750 TI, or a R9 270, the 260x isn't that great anymore.

Ok that's my bad because the pcpartpicker says it's mITX. But still an mITX case will not fit an mATX motherboard. An mATX case* on the otherside can fit an mITX board.
