Well, I am new to the computer building community, after just studying and watching videos on hardware for six months, I really familiarized myself with hardware. Here is my situation.

I have all the major components I need for the build, and an older motherboard which fits my processor and whatnot. I upgrade the motherboard to get compatible with my graphics card. Got the same socket and chipset as the last motherboard. Pop in the processor on the new mobo, and try hooking up the heatsink, but the [strike]clamp[/strike] backplate that goes on the motherboard doesn't fit in the holes. Trying to not spend anymore money, considering I am on a budget, I would like some help from people who could shoot around a few rigs or solutions for me before I save up for a new heatsink with a different kind of backplate or clamp or something of that nature, any recommendations on a lga1155 heatsink with a clamp that will fit a MSI h61 mobo?

Anyway's thanks in advance for helping me out. Will stay active on this thread to get the most help I can, thanks..
