Good morning everyone, first off thanks for taking your time to read/answer my post...greatly appreciated.

 

Soon ill be able to start my first build but I've few questions, I bought a generic case and sadly I've no idea how to determine whether its an ATX or ITX ( ill attach few picture s). If its an ATX which LGA 1150 mobo ( Asus preferred ) ( wont overclock ) under the 110 bucks range will I be able to pair with an i3-4150?. There is a fan slot, which fan should i get?( I currently have everything for the build but the mobo and processor ).

 

Again, thanks alot and have a good day.

It is an ATX case. But that I/O panel is in a fixed position (i think) . Only a dremel will get that out.

It's an ATX case but its cheap, their is no cable management and a very cheap power supply. DO NOT GO PUTTING EXPENSIVE COMPONENTS INTO A CASE WITH A VERY CHEAP LOW WATAGE POWER SUPPLY THAT NOT 80 PLUS RATED YOU COULD VERY EASILY RUIN YOUR COMPONENTS

I agree. If a power supply is in included with the case, you may have to replace it. Inc. PSU has low wattage and more of a office power rather than OC and Gaming power

Quite frankly it's not worth the hassle. If you already have a psu dump this thing and get a good case. It's already preset for a cheap comp and the more you have to fool with it the worse it will get. Get a Corsair 200R. $40 and waaay better build quality and usefulness. I can feel the cuts from the edges of this thing already.

Sir William of Orange: Corsair 230T - Rebel Orange, 4690K, GA-97X SOC, 16gb Dom Plats 1866C9,  2 MX100 256gb, Seagate 2tb Desktop, EVGA Supernova 750-G2, Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3, DK 9008 keyboard, Pioneer BR drive. Yeah, on board graphics - deal with it!

It just says "generic black and red case" lol no brand. I dont really care much for a "clean look-cable management" i just want a working PC and i cant really afford going for another case :'(. Does the motherboard come with the standoff? which mobo?

No, you can buy standoffs... Usually the case comes with a little box or a plastic zip-lock attached inside of it that will contain all the screws you need

Yeah it did come with a plastic bag with a bunch of screws. Any H81,87 and 97 motherboard will work?

Lets just hope so.
