needing help on compatibility issue

[Kitsunex119x]

Budget (including currency): 1500

Country: united states

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: splitgate, halo infinite,doom, warzone, apex, fortnight, streaming on twitch

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I am upgrageing from a prebulit with a 1060 3GB, 8GB DDR4, 500W power supply and a Ryzen 3 1200

I have an RTX 3060 MSI ventus 3, ASUS ROG strix b-450F gaming ii, 360mm Corsair cappellix AIO cooler, RYZEN 7 3700x, 256 Samsung evo, RM650 power supply, 16GB patriot viper DDR4 and finally a H710 case from NZXT

my question was are all these part going to be compatible? i plugged all these specs into pcpcartpicker.com and was given a message that the motherboard would not support the USB gen 3.2 ports and would not support the USB C either. both of these thing are located on the front IO of the case and i dont know if any one else has this case ? and if so how did you get the front IO to work ?

Pcpartpicker uses a pretty conservative system for such things. They’re not so much worried about avoiding false negatives as false positives.  As a result it happens that pcpartpicker will report an issue where either workarounds are possible or the issue is merely close or unknown.  A bit like the US court system which is worried more about not locking up the innocent that prosecuting the guilty.  The result is people who are guilty are more likely to get off.  It’s a methodology dependent on what you want to avoid most.  Erring on the side of caution. It may be that for example the case comes with 3.2 attachment which are not compatible with 3.0  motherboard headers. It would be possible then to separately get a 3.2-3.0 adaptor which would effectively turn the front port into a 3.0 port rather than a 3.2 port.  This would be something that pcpartpicker wouldn’t allow for.  Whether this is actually the case in this instance or not I do not know.

Oh, you might. Just because something can sometimes be gotten around doesn’t make it reliable. There’s a reason PCpartPicker has that conservative system.  I personally wouldn’t just ignore their warnings.  I for example wouldn’t buy something that is stated to be i compatible unless I for sure know I can get around it.

An adaptor can be worth trying if the parts are in hand, but if they’re not I’d avoid it if possible.  Adaptors CAN work, but they can also be made poorly or the manufacturer simply didn’t do their homework on what is possible.  That’s a pretty common one with PSU extension cables for example. One has to use particular caution with those.
