Not a happy camper right now. Brought home my new Fx 8320 and the Gigabyte 970a-d3p mobo as stated above and started putting it together... Not only was it all frustrating because of this Rosewill challenger case which isn't spacious at all, but my pins from the PSU are not fitting in the motherboards atx 12v slot. Is my psu not compatible here? It seems to have the right looking fit for the particular mobo slot but the 2pin doesn't fit inside, the plastic around it doesn't seem to match if that makes sense.

So I need some help as a newbie, is it compatible or is it not? Am I doing something wrong? If not, which decently low priced psup ~650 w plus will be compatible with this thing.... FML

NOTE
Scrap all I said... sorry guys... but I do notice that this motherboard has no IDE connector, I believe that is what it is called... For dvd rom etc...

Sorry I did not pop back in... I got it going, but at the end of the night my friend and I exhausted all options, new pc setup would not BOOT. Mobo is most likely DOA or has a messed up part on it.
