AM3 + Mobo with Floppy, diskette, and optical support?

I got a case from 1999 that has Diskette/floppy (I cant tell the difference between the two- It's one of those) and an optical drive. I plan on putting an FX 6300, 8 gigs of Corsair vengeance, and a 750 TI OC edition from ASUS. Anyone know of a MOBO that will support ALL of those? I'm willing to switch on the RAM if necessary.

why not just try to find a sata floppy drive and use a stranded 2xxx motherboard.

Is the floppy drive in a 3.5/5.5 inch slot? you might be able to just replace it with blu-ray. not to mention 1999 is IDE not SATA so good luck

I want to use the exact drives, and It's 3.5".

Or better just buy a USB floppy drive (also SATA DVD drives can be got for not much money, so it'll be better to ditch the outdated hardware (since no modern motherboard supports IDE drives and floppy drives unless you get an adapter that will cover any IDE drives) although there might be someone that might need them).

go with a normal mobo and this, it should work. Someone who has tried it can support or correct me

Woah thanks! I didn't even think about using an adapter. You just made my day :)
