I would add some more sata or nvme storage as games these days take a lot of space and change 32X1 ram stick to 16X2 as dual channel is just better for things. 

Also if you are going for a mid tower case I dont see why u are going for a micro motherboard if you go for a full atx you can just have the peace of mind that you have those other slots in case the first one fries or u need to put more graphics cards in future for AI purposes and/or you want to add a videocard for steaming/ capturing purposes

i did change the ram to 2x16 but im trying to work within my budget. more looking for compatibility and functionality guidance right now and will definitely add/upgrade parts in the future

Air coolers don't do well in fish tank cases.

Sort of, the mobo always offers Wifi and BT,

It's tidy

Here it costs 20 instead of your 10 (of course if you don't need Wifi...)
