so im kinda new to this, i got inspired by alot of youtubers to build my own PC. and just like many of us im broke as hell. so my budget was very limited. 

i bought parts mostly on ebay to get the best deals and whatever is the cheapest online to get me started. 

so far these is what i got:

i5 3570k

Lenovo k430 CIZ75m (need help with this one)

xm3 DDR3 1333

600w 80+ bronze psu

 

i couldn't figure out the front panel, HD audio, usb3 and usb connectors on the motherboard.

i can do it on newer motherboards but i have no clue with this one

please help

This particular board is designed for Lenovo's IdealCentre K430 desktop PC hence it's 'partially proprietary' and isn't 100% ATX compatible. The front panel connector is proprietary, in this particular case. 

 

That's Lenovo's way of preventing people from using their motherboards in standard ATX casings. Dell has a similar 'strategy', FYI.
