I'm setting up a PC for my mother-in-law with a simple budget build. She mainly plays pop cap games, 2D titles, and uses the internet, so keeping costs low is key. I purchased a motherboard from Overclockers UK: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus-prim...es-as.html. The main question is whether this board is of medium size—does it fit the Mini ATX category? Based on the images, it looks adequate. There are additional PCIe ports at the bottom, which suggests it could be Mini ATX or a similar form factor.

Micro ATX is generally the most affordable option. ATX tends to be bigger, while mini ITX is more specifically built. It might be considered the "middle ground" regarding size.

You're welcome! I addressed exactly what you needed. I understand it's not the most affordable option, but it's a budget-friendly choice with a recognizable brand. It should provide sufficient connectivity to cover your requirements.
