I'm not normally in the "just buy one" crowd but I'm gonna be honest, if you're crowdsourcing the dimensions for your hole, I'm not sure you have the skills to do this safely.
If you leave any metal shavings unaddressed you could cause a short at a later date. You could also injure yourself depending on how you make the hole.
I'm gonna recommend you spend a bit of time on Newegg or Aliexpress and get a cheap, similarly sized, case that already has an acrylic or tempered glass panel installed.
Alternatively, if you're gonna do it anyway:
Whatever you choose is subjective, but you'll probably wanna trace where the gray metal is visible and keep all that behind the black panel, cut out a large void with a cutting wheel (if you have the right safety gear, seriously those things can easily take an eye out) or a hacksaw. Use a drill to make relief holes all around the inside of your trace before cutting to make it easier.
Your case has vent holes, those are directly over your cpu. In this configuration, if you cut those holes out and replace them with acrylic you will be suffocating your cpu. This means you need to add an exhaust fan to help carry hot air out. Most cases have space for 2 40mm or 80mm exhause fans in the back near the IO shield.
I've just seen both an itx and a mini atx case with glass panel for ~£30 it's just easier
