since you are asking these questions, I take it you have not bought anything yet?


if so don't buy that power supply, get a good 550w like the supernova GS


also get the cryorig h7 instead of the hyper 212

As you can see, that motherboard has THREE pcie slots...

The motherboard and the case don't have to have the same amount of slots - you're misinterpreting things. If anything for best compatibility the case should have MORE slots than the motherboard has, but rarely is this an issue.

"does my motherboard and case have the same amount of expansion slots a website told me the case and mother board have to have the same amount of expansion slots."
..........expansion slots are found on the motherboard not on cases...
most cases has same structure...however u need to have a case big enuf in size to fit ur entire system...

"one part of another forum on this website said for my video card and mother board to be compatible I have to have a pci express slot on my mother board"
..........all current motherboards have pcie slots...

The case has 8 slots.

The MB has 7 expansion ports.

I have never used every slot in any system I have ever had, and the slots don't have to match exactly. You just need at least a case with enough slots to meet what the MB has.
