Need advice on mid-range gaming PC

[Versal]

Hi, this is my first time building a com so I hope I can get some advice from you on better options for my build? Thanks

Motherboard:
ASUS HM110 A-D3 + i5 6500 @ $373

Graphics Card:
Nvidia GTX 1060 (Palit Dual Fan / Zotac) @ $299 (before Lazada discount)

Ram
Crucial Gskill PC3 - 1333 @ $46

Storage:
1TB Seagate 7200rpm HDD @ 64
250GB Samsung Evo 850 SSD @ 125

PSU:
EVGA B1 80+ Bronze Power Supply - $69 (Lazada)

Other stuff:
SATA DVD ~ $20


All prices are from tradepac unless otherwise stated.


Questions:
1. Is my motherboard good for what I'm building? I was considering H170m but I think no need to have such a good one. Are there any disadvantages of getting a micro-ATX motherboard?

2. Palit Dual Fan vs Zotac? Or is the diff negligible?

3. What case would you recommend?

4. I purposely chose a good PSU because I think it's quite important. But do you guys think there's a difference in the EVGA PSU I picked vs Coolermaster elite v2 550w / FSP Hexa+ 550w? The latter are in tier D while EVGA seems to fair well in reviews.

5. Any additional cables or equipment I need when building?

Budget about 1.1k

OS / Accessories and Screen I will settle myself, will be reusing some stuff from my old com (that is currently spoilt)

maybe u can state your usage for this pc as well?

1. well more or less good, if u dun need so many features from motherboard. well just a few lanes lesser, other than that nothing much.

2. i would say performance not much different, but temp maybe.

3. Tecware F3

4. well im not sure of that EVGA. FSP still ok for it standard.

5. nah most of them should be in the mobo.

actually i cannot recommend tecware f3 sia. the cable management on that thing is a disaster. v tough to do.

Build with this case b4, have abit of trouble with the motherboard backplate

Sadly is OOS in Lazada, the build quality is abit poor. The metal is too flimsy, cable management can be managed

the mobo i using with this casing sadly doesn't have v good location for the wiring. it's all over the place hence v tough to work with. not to mention the sata ports are from top down, not sideways in.

your cable management looks good though. i might just reference it to get some ideas.
