Ran into a problem with mobo and case compatibility.

I got a Asus TUFB850M plus wifi mobo and the below case:

https://www.newegg.ca/diypc-micro-atx-tower-steel-tempered-glass-cases-black-argb-g5-bk/p/N82E16811353262

PCPartPicker didnt show any fault with this and one of the redditor suggested the case too. I know I should have double checked everything but obviously I didnt and since it was suggested and no faults on pcpp, I went ahead with it.

So, am I wrong here to assume that I just need a bigger case? Or am I doing something wrong? Will I be able to return or replace it through newegg?

Thank you for your help.

>**2. What is your maximum PRE-TAX budget before rebates and shipping?**

* 1200$

* ASAP

>**4. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ex: tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)**

* Tower and monitor. Its fine if I have to go over budget for monitor, just want to focus more on GPU.

>**5. If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? How old are they? Brands and models are appreciated.**

* I recently bought the 9600x + ASUS B850M + 32gb ram bundle from newegg already. I want help with the rest of components.
