Hey so in a surge of excitement I finally pulled together my pc build ordered the build. THEN my friend pointed out some compatibility notes that popped up that i'd missed.
Firstly the parts I have:
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo 43.1 CFM CPU Cooler
Case: Zalman Z9 ATX Mid Tower Case
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 ATX LGA1150
Now apparently my case doesn't have USB 3.0 panels at the front (didn't think to check!) but I presume it has 2.0? Will I be able to connect and just have the older spec USB ports for the front panel? I just want to know if it'll work or i'll just be short some USB's!
And secondly if anyone has experience - do you think the case would have any issues with my cooler - size wise? The case I picked doesn't have a huge mass of info on pcparts so it could be a mistake but i'd IMAGINE it'd be fine the case is actually a bit bigger than the fractal 2500 model I was planning on getting before!
Thanks and hopefully I haven't made a massive mistake on rushing into the case without a bit more thorough research!
edit: So I might need an adapter for the mobo's 3.0's to connect to the front 2.0 panel on the case? (I think that's the case. Different pins right?)
