did you verify the form factor/standoff placement for your mobo, because I know some boards specifically made for pre-built computers aren't necessarilly atx

 

this is atx for sure. its micro atx it started out as a asus and the reason I got asus is so its a standard mobo

No offense but you might want to invest some of that money in a quality power supply, a nice case is fine but if your power supply fails it can take out the whole system, also with a non-modular power supply you are cant avoid cable management issues, additionally a good psu allows you to upgrade and expand the components. Ideally the psu would out live the case not the other way around.
