Hey guys, I'm looking to build a new PC since my current one is garbage. Here are my current specs:
ECS MCP61PM-GM
Phenom x4 9600
Sapphire Radeon 7770 Ghz Edition
6 Gigs of 333mhz memory

I'm planning on carrying over my hard drive and graphics card. Here's the components I was told I should get before: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4XYprH

Only problem is this compatibility note:
f33162659ee4018b6acd6721f1f892d4.png


And I'm not sure the hard drive will work with the new setup. Any help would be appreciated.

That compatibility note just means you won't be able to use the blue front port as USB 3.0. You can still use the USB 2.0 front ports, and there are adapters you can buy for connecting one or two front usb 3.0 ports to a USB 2.0 header and run them at USB 2.0 speeds. The hard drive should be transferable unless it's IDE rather than SATA.
