    So I'm ordering these parts by the end of the week or so, and my budget is €400. I already have a case, monitor, OS, keyboard and mouse so I figured it would let me build a decent build for that price. I found a Youtube video for a $400 PC build and followed it. Here's my build, but according to PC part picker, there's an issue with the motherboard and case? Problem is, I already own the case, and can't afford to order another one :confused: The problem is with USB 3.0, and to be honest, I've never used that on my laptop, and don't know if I will for gaming, but if this means I can't fit the motherboard it's obviously a problem. So basically what I'm asking is, can I fit all the parts in this case and still get it to work? And if not, what is a compatible motherboard for the same price? (I'm ordering all these from HWVS) Here is the PC Part Picker link with my build, thanks for any help provided! :)http://pcpartpicker.com/p/29IKg
