The motherboard is ATX form factor and I browsed for computer cases that are ATX on newegg. ATX mobo goes will fit into ATX full/mid/mini tower case right?

When I compared the ports of the mobo in the link above with the port cutout of ATX type form factor computer case, I don't see how they could fit together.

The ATX mobo does not have a d-sub connector yet the ATX computer case has a slot for it. How can they fit together??

It's my first time building a PC.
 
That's your standard ATX form factor motherboard. It will fit in near any case except for MicroATX cases. The most popular size is a mid-tower case. You can find the widest selection of cases in that size.
 
your mother board comes with its own I/O shield to go on the back of the case that is for the specific outputs.


ANY atx board will fit ANY atx case, no matter what.
 
Ok great. Are there any incompatibility with my part list?

I know i'm still missing a few things but how does it look so far? The mobo has AM3 socket and so does the CPU. The mobo supports DDR3 at 1333 and that's the RAM that I got. The HD is SATA. Graphic card is for PCIE x16 and the mobo has that too. :)

How do I know how much power my system will use? I don't have a PSU yet because I don't know how much power my system will use.
