the motherboard in this deal is micro-atx, not standard atx (or just 'atx'). it indicates the form factor / size.

motherboards come in various sizes: atx (standard, most common), micro-atx (smaller, fairly common, usually for budget builds), mini-itx (smallest, less common and usually quite expensive due to form factor), and e-atx (extended-atx, largest, also less common). there are much more niche sizes that are practically non-existent (mini-dtx for example).

as long as the motherboard has the features you need and are compatible with the cpu you want to use and fits in the case you want to use, the general rule of thumb is don't overspend unless you know why you're overspending.

the case in this deal is standard atx. it means it'll fit anything ATX and smaller. you'll just have to adjust the standoff screws to match the holes on the motherboard.

i can go on for a while with the nuances of pc building but it's not hard to do. let me know if you got more questions. there are plenty of resources on youtube as well.

I see links have been shared to answer your question, so here's a website to help you find compatible parts once you start planning your build: https://www.pcpartpicker.com

"fastest" depends on the use case, for gaming 5800x3d for actual workload that would use all cpu cores 5950x. But I wouldn't build a higher end pc with these, only cpu that deserve to be built in am4 brand new at this point is budget pc with 5600

Good deal. MSRP for either of those is $100. They're typically selling for more like $80 each, so this is still pretty good if you're in the market to start building a PC.
