Will my ASRock B650M-C motherboard fit into a Corsair 3500X ARGB Mid Tower ATX PC case?

Yes, it will fit. In fact, that case is overkill for an "mATX" board. ALL ASRock's
boards that end in an "M" (B650M for example) are mATX (micro ATX) form factor.

Board sizes are as follows

EATX - Oversized, typically a server or workstation board
ATX - Normal size, will fit in any standard ATX sized case
mATX - Smaller than ATX
ITX - Smallest non specialized board size

Every board size will fit inside all the cases designed for boards larger than
them so ITX will fit into cases for any of the other boards, mATX will fit in
all cases except for ITX sized cases etc.

For the different size cases will I need to take into account any upgrades? For example, I have a prebuilt CyberPower PC with an ATX/mATX case and plan on upgrading to a water-cooling system as I currently run a fan cooler. Will an mATX case support the radiator and fans or should I stick to the bigger ATX case for more room? I'm looking for a smaller footprint with the case that will accommodate any future upgrades such as the water-cooling system.
