Hey all,
It's my first time building a pc but I've ran into some errors with pcpartpicker.
This is the build I am considering, however there were a few compatibility notes.

1) "ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports."
The Case shows that it has 2x 2.0 USB ports in the front panel, and the MB also has 2.0 USB ports, I was wondering how important it was to utilize the 3.0 ports?
2) "The Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 390mm long, but video cards over 270mm may block drive bays. Since the Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 3GB WINDFORCE Video Card is 284mm long, some drive bays may not be usable."
I was wondering if anyone knows how many drive bays will be unusable? How important will the unusable drive bays be? I don't plan on adding any other features other than the ones already listed in the link above.
Thank you very much!!
