First PC Build - Compatibility Issues?

username 01 · Oct 23, 2011

Hi, I am building my first computer and am posting this not to ask you "is this a sweet build" but just to check before I buy all the parts in case of compatibility issues. I think I may have an issue with the motherboard not being compatible with the case, but not sure.
Thanks.

Everything looks fine

I would not trust that power supply, might want to spend the extra 15 and grab the corsair 430W unit. Probably handles a higher load than the casecom 500W

250W and it gets wonko

Yup looks peachy. Directly to your case concern....Micro-ATX motherboard. Case fits both Micro-ATX and ATX motherboards. It is just a matter of installing the risers in a different place for two of them

My basic rule of power supplies is as follows:

If it has pretty or flashy lights on it then it is trying to compensate for other (and far more important) things that it doesn't have.
