if its small, doesnt have any chips on it, and u dont know what it is, dont worry about it- at least thats what i say. i got this crazy looking weird plier plastic thingy w/ my DFI nf4 board and i have no idea what it is

One of them looks like a bracket that lets you lock your PC. The washer may go on to the motherboard screws.

Not sure about the 3rd item on the left, looks like one of the feet for the case?

the one on the left i can snap it into a hole in the case, its like a support thing for the mobo. Shoud I install it?

It would probably be ok without it, but it's really your call.

I belive that the weird plier looking thing is a chip extractor to let you move the SLI jumpers more easily...don't quote me though.

The thing in the middle may be one of those things you can screw onto the back-inside of the PC case, with the big hole side going to the outside through a thin slot. It allows you to lock the case with a padlock to prevent the side panels being removed.

I've seen those white plastic things on my OOOOLD 3x86 AT case. They hold the motherboard in.
