ATX motherboard size comparison; rear is on left.
- This case is one of the smallest Micro-ATX cases that are available on the market. It has an ultra-reliable steel form factor, many bays, and expansion slots, and the design is very versatile and it can work with many of today's systems. And the best thing about this case is that it is ultra-cheap. Key Features: Motherboard Support: Micro-ATX.
- I did some research and found the atx version for the same B550 motherboard, but it lacks a sufficient USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers to connect to the case unlike the micro-atx. Should I just stick with the micro atx or would it be better in the long run to go with the atx board which has more expansion slots?
Micro and Standard ATX motherboards share the same width, but standard ATX motherboard is longer in length. The height advantage of the standard ATX motherboard allows for more PCI-E slots resulting in more upgrade potential.
microATX (sometimes referred to as μATX, uATX[1] or mATX)[2] is a standard for motherboards that was introduced in December 1997.[3] The maximum size of a microATX motherboard is 9.6 × 9.6 in (244 × 244 mm). The standard ATX size is 25% longer, at 12 × 9.6 in (305 × 244 mm).

Currently available microATX motherboards support CPUs from VIA, Intel or AMD.
Backward compatibility[edit]
microATX was explicitly designed to be backward-compatible with ATX. The mounting points of microATX motherboards are a subset of those used on full-size ATX boards, and the I/O panel is identical. Thus, microATX motherboards can be used in full-size ATX cases. Furthermore, most microATX motherboards generally use the same power connectors as ATX motherboards,[4] thus permitting the use of full-size ATX power supplies with microATX boards.
microATX boards often use the same chipsets (northbridges and southbridges) as full-size ATX boards, allowing them to use many of the same components. However, since microATX cases are typically much smaller than ATX cases, they usually have fewer expansion slots.
Expandability[edit]
Most modern ATX motherboards have a maximum of seven PCI or PCI-Express expansion slots, while microATX boards only have a maximum of four (four being the maximum permitted by the specification). In order to conserve expansion slots and case space, many manufacturers produce microATX motherboard with a full range of integrated peripherals (especially integrated graphics), which may serve as the basis for small form factor and media center PCs. For example, the ASRockG31M-S motherboard (pictured right) features onboard Intel GMA graphics, HD Audio audio, and Realtek Ethernet (among others), thus freeing up the expansion slots that would have been used for a graphics card, sound card, and Ethernet card. In recent years, however, it is common even for ATX boards to integrate all these components, as much of this functionality is contained in the typical northbridge/southbridge pair. With the 'must-have' functions already present on the motherboard, the need for having many expansion slots has faded, and adoption of microATX has increased even to be used in ATX cases.
In the DIY PC market, microATX motherboards in general are favored by cost-conscious buyers, where cost savings for the equivalent feature sets outweigh the added expandability of extra PCI/PCI Express slots provided by the full ATX versions. Since 2006, dual-GPU configurations became possible on microATX motherboards for high-end enthusiast gaming setups, further reducing the need for full ATX motherboards.[5]
In addition, some microATX cases require the use of low-profile PCI cards[6] and use power supplies with non-standard dimensions.[7]

Compared to Mini-ITX, microATX motherboards have a maximum of four expansion slots and four DIMM slots, as opposed to the single expansion slot and two DIMM (or SO-DIMM[8]) slots on Mini-ITX motherboards. This means that microATX allows dual-graphics card and quad-channel memory configurations.[9]
