If you dislike, pretend you never saw it
And asrock has been very good to me. I have my old b350 board in my nephew's desktop, still going strong since gen 1 Ryzen. My wife has this exact board in her system since pre-Covid and its currently rocking a 5700x3d, zero issues.
Not gonna continue listing the people I know with asrock boards, theres a few more. AM4 Asrock boards were super solid, major issues with this brand popped up with AM5 mainly.
I have a free micro atx case so all I would need is a power supply, cpu and cooler right? Believe the cpu would provide onboard video?

CPU: Ryzen 5500 (with cooler) for around $80 on sale recently or a used 3600 for less. Could also get a 5600 from AliExpress for a bit more.
Case and power supply (650-750W) for around $50-60 each.
GPU: definitely will have to go used to hit that budget but some good options are a 1660 Super for under $100 (the bare minimum id go with but mainly for esports games). For some more demanding games a 2060 or 2070, or 6600/6600XT should all be under $200 used. If you're really lucky you might be able to still find a used 3060 around $200 on your local marketplace.

Not crapping on the deal: it's a good value if you want to build a budget desktop. But money- and effort-wise, you may be better off just grabbing a prebuilt (new or refurb). Even Newegg's two DoorBuster prebuilts will look like a good value after you price all the components of your build in.
