My build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/s3VkjX

So I made a build with a $650 budget in mind. And I feel I did pretty well with what I chose and how well everything will perform. Although I am running into walls as I have half the parts I need and still need to order 2 more things (harddrive and ram) other than that I have everything else. The things I am running into are the design of the case, even though the website and pcpartpicker says everything will work and fit. They are not. My motherboard is not correctly aligned with I/O shield and only 3 of the 4 screws fit into the powersupply, not to mention only 7 of the 9 screws are fitting to my motherboard. I am getting really scared and frustrated with this case. Even my GPU does not perfectly slip into the socket. I need help or advice and I plan on posting pictures of this travesty later to give y'all a better idea of the hell I am seeing.

The power supply is very very very poor.Don't go to cheap on the power supply or you risk damage to your other components.

That sounds like really bad quality control on the case. If you can, I think I would return it and start again with a better case. It may also be a case that was damaged or bent out of alignment in shipping.

I will try my best to catch that deal but a little short on funds. But did request a refund on the case as well and started looking at cases again and this Corsair 300r caught my eye, any thoughts?
