Mobo/Case compatability

[Exxactly]

I'm new here and building my first computer. I've decided to go with a Amd 64 3200+ on socket 939.

What i'm wondering is if
This motherboard">http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-130-468&depa=1</a>

Will fit inside

This case">http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-129-144&depa=0</a>

Thanks

Yes

Thanks alot, lets see if i can get another question in one thread

What small heatsink would best fit the aforementioned AMD 64 3200+ 939?

 

[Nessism]

Stock. A Zalman 7000 will fit, provide less noise and cool better.

Well, i'm buying my processor OEM which, to my understanding, means no stock heatsink....

After some looking around for a Zalman 7000 I found this http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-118-112&depa=0

Why pick a small heatsink? The XP-90 although bigger than the usual heatsink is light and performs well.

OEM processors come with a MUCH shorter warranty as well. Just 90 days over the 3 year warranty that the retail version comes with. Even if you use an after market heatsink, you should get the retail version.

That's the one. Check Amazon and you can save a few bucks.

Thanks

Since he brought it up, I'm curious to know how you can determine if a motherboard will fit into a certain case, does it just go by ATX form factor? I see the bezel on the back of some cases and it seems like they dont match the configuration on a "compatable" motherboard's port configuration. Im just going by the pictures I see on newegg, but this same case applies here if you look at it, the configuration on the board differs, no room for the USB and LAN jacks.

When you buy a motherboard it includes an I/O panel that will match the board. The I/O in the case can be easily removed and replaced with the one included with the mb as necessary. Regarding form factor, an ATX case can also fit a mATX board since it's the same basic layout but just smaller. A miny ATX case though will not have enough room for a full ATX board for obvious reasons.

Good luck.
