First off, sorry if this is the wrong place but I couldn't decide which one it went in so here it is in general discussion.

 

For this I particularly need help from those that know a bit about server/workstation mobos.

 

Basically I plan on maybe building a computer like the LTT $150 gaming pc and on first glance I plan on using these parts (note: these are not set in stone)

This is meant as a project but may end up being someones daily driver so if there are outright incompatibilities, tell me.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

since that is a server motherboard it might not fit in a standard case.

could you give a bit more of an explanation as to why the psu would blow up?

because it is a very cheap unit. that uses low quality component.

Most reviews on Kentek power supplies are negative, usually because they have died (some of the time via literal explosion of black smoke) early or been DoA.

do you see any incompatibilities with the gpu and such?
