[Hunter343]

im buying an ab350n gaming wifi mother board for the ryzen 2200g

this motherboard is a mini itx board but i found a really good looking case but its a mid tower case

this is the case

and im not too sure a gtx 1060 is gonna fit in a mini itx case( or the one im getting anyway)

you can, but i'm not quite sure why you would buy a mini-itx board just to pair it with an m-atx case.

Yes. Mini-ITX motherboards can fit in cases that support mini-ITX, mATX, ATX, and EATX motherboards.

 

If you scroll down the linked page to the manufacturer's description there is a table that includes supported motherboard formats.

 

Keep in mind that a mini-ITX motherboard is 74mm (2.9") shorter than an mATX case, so the motherboard will look a little lost in the case.

the other B350 boards all support ryzen(duh...), and you'd be better off getting a wifi adaptor then losing features by buying an expensive itx board.

"Mid Tower" generally describes a small ATX case. Micro ATX (mATX) cases are typically described as mATX Tower/Desktop.
