I have been researching parts for my friend because he wants to build a gaming PC (to play like Overwatch and such) 

He only has just below $500 to spend 

Has to buy it from local store (Fry's Electronics)

 

I was hoping I could get your guys' feedback on this build to make sure it is good for the price.

 

Thank you!

The motherboard and case are incompatible, choose a mATX case.

I thought a Micro ATX could still fit in a normal ATX case

Nonsense. A motherboard that is smaller than the form factor of the case will always fit. You should do your research before making recommendations.

Don't listen to Nitrous, any ATX case can fit a mATX board. That is because an ATX board is longer vertically than a mATX board because it contains more PCIe expansion slots. It wouldn't make any sense for a motherboard that is smaller to not fit in a case designed for a motherboard that is bigger.

Pico ITX in an ATX case? no. Also i dont know why its too easy for me to start a flame war.
