http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wN4mvK
I'm going to build my first Gaming Rig, I need help understanding the correct PSU, Case, and maybe other parts.... I'm not to sure if my PSU will run everything, also maybe iffy on my motherboard inside of my case, like if it will do for my needs. Finally im not sure if that parts im getting will fit inside my case...... I just plan to use it for Arma 720p high settings, I want it to really stay under 600 dollars but do have a little room for growth to 615. Please if you have options us the pcpartpicker...

Quality PSU that allows you to upgrade GPU to a stronger one later http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9
The Antec VP450 is the best budget unit you can get and is plenty for the build as is.

Also why would i go micro ATX case, wouldnt that not even fit my gpu?

After rereading everything i really like your build! http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vWqXNG Just that it has some compatibility issues... "ASRock B85 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Enermax Thorex ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports." I changed up the PSU because a good friend recommend me that one after building his ultra gaming PC...

madmatt30 · Mar 30, 2015

why would you even consider the 750ti when you can get a r9 270 for $20 less??
its a FAR better card

Yes no problem parts.

madmatt30 · Mar 30, 2015

the spec 01 is a fairly solid case mate,popular ,you should have no problems at all with it.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6tG6dC wrong crap again, that's the REAL one.... What do you think, it has a compatibility problems...

logainofhades · Mar 31, 2015

Spoon1 :

The B85 anniversary is the exception to that. It was released along with the H97 and Z97 anniversary and has Haswell refresh support, right out of the box.

Still kind of confused on what you're trying to say here... I think I might stick with my new build... Check my forum I posted

logainofhades · Mar 31, 2015

Sorry, was thinking about the common error about being compatible with the CPU. Been a busy morning, at work, so only glanced over the post. The case doesn't have the ports to use the header on the motherboard. You can get an adapter or a different case.

madmatt30 · Mar 31, 2015

The case has USB 2 ports - the motherboard has a USB 2 & 3 header.
You will be able to use the usb ports fine but only at USB 2 speeds.

logainofhades · Mar 31, 2015

madmatt30 :

USB 3.0 header is different than 2.0. You have to use an adapter, of some sort. Either a 3.0 to 2.0 adapter, or a drive bay one that has USB 3.0 ports, and proper header connection.

Spoon1 · Mar 31, 2015

madmatt30 :

Can I get an article about this?

madmatt30 · Mar 31, 2015

^ you've lost me completely mate.
The case has USB 2 ports.
The board has a pair of USB 2 headers as well as a single USB 3 header.
He won't need an adapter - he'll just use one of thevUSB 2 headers
There's no incompability at all,just he'll only have a couple of usb3 ports on the back panel

Board specs from as rock website
4 SATA3, 2 SATA2, 4 USB 3.0 (2 Front, 2 Rear), 8 USB 2.0 (4 Front, 4 Rear)

need help with the PSU of this PC must be under 615 dollars!
