This is my first computer build and I just want to make sure I get it right.

I picked out a motherbaord and a case, but judging by the pictures, the ports on the mobo won't line up with those on the back of the case. Is this a problem? Or does the mobo come with somekind of metal template or cover for the case?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

It will fit. What will happen is on the back of the case, you will be able to remove the entire area where the holes are for ports. It is a standard punch out size. Now take a look at the pic of the mobo with everything including the box. The Rear I/O panel shield will snap into the area where you removed the stock plate and you'll have a perfect match for your new mobo.

EDIT: Apperently I don't type as fast as Hunter315. :P

All motherboards come with their own backplates, unless they are open boxes or OEMs. Just pop the one out of the case and put in the one that came with the motherboard. From the pictures that motherboard has one
