So, I wanna buy a motherboard and a CPU but I am worried my motherboard wont fit in my case and I am also worried that my hard disk wont work with the Motherboard.
And I am also scared of my Power supply wont work with the motherboard I think my power supply is 300 Watts. and does this motherboard support a Xeon X5650 CPU?

Thank you for helping me!
 
Oh and here is the hard disk I have WDC WD5000AVDS-63U7B1 ATA Device

Here is the hard disk it says
Storage and RAM:
SATA 3.0 *4
2 x DDR3 Memory Slots
Memory Support Max: 32 GB
Support ECC DDR3

do you think it will still work if I put my hard disk in?
 
Since [Google says] your hard drive is SATA based and the motherboard has SATA connectors, you'll be fine in that regard.

Have you confirmed that the Chinese board you're looking to buy is actually compatible with the Xeon X5650. Just comparing it visually to other mobos that support that class of CPUs, this one looks quite...anemic.

What are you doing for RAM?
Does the CPU come with a cooler?

What is your current system specs?
Power Supply? (Make/Model/Wattage)

Intended usage for the system?

So I bought a LGA1366 X58 motherboard and Xeon X5650 hopefully it fits my case because the seller didnt say anything about the size of the case but I'll think ill be fine
