Hello. I have asked 3 separate times about a gaming desktop build for a Cooler Master Elite 430 case and I have finally compiled the final list. http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ If that is not every thing I need for the build let me know so I can figure out the total cost. (I do have a monitor) One questions I had is, on the motherboard.. I get the message, "ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer ATX LGA1150 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Cooler Master Elite 430 ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports." Any ideas on what motherboard I could use that won't have that issue? Also, I will be overclocking in the future.

Edit: Oh, I read that error message wrong. The case uses USB 2.0 front pannels and the motherboard lead is 3.0, so you would need a USB 2.0 (case) toward 3.0 (motherboard) adapter or to use a different case.

I am on a budget, however there is a small amount of wiggle room. Do they make an adapter for that issue?

What exactly does a Solid State Drive do? Decrease start up times? Also, would it be that much of a difference for $20 and would it affect gaming?

I gotta say, the Samsung SSD looks pretty nice. However, does it come with screws? and would I need to buy a bracket for it? (Just read 9 or so reviews and those were the top issues, no issues about the quality though which is amazing)

Start up times, load screens, and installs.

Alright, that answers that question. Now the last two would be does the SSD come with screws and would I need a bracket for it? (Could I also get the size of screws I would possibly need? Just a guess) Also, is the adapter I mentioned the correct adapter for a 3.0 USB motherboard to a 2.0 USB case. (The case doesn't have 3.0 USB slots)
