An ATX power supply unit delivers power in three voltages: 3.3 volts, 5 volts, and 12 volts. The 3.3 volt pins are used only in the motherboard connector. Older, AT power supplies and motherboards used only 5 volt and 12 volt pins in the motherboard connection.
Case: minitowers:compact cases,low-profile cases or slimline cases. Power supply: ATX power supply
The atx 12 connector is one of the motherboard power connectors and used for 12 volt power connect for cpu voltage regulator.
Asus is simply a manufacturer that makes atx and non-atx motherboards. Whether a motherboard is ATX or not is specific to that single model.
