Question 1

Micro ATX? This wouldn't fit a standard size case, something like a Dell Optiplex would it?

Accepted Answer

It will fit a standard ATX case. Dell's cases are proprietary and don't necessarily conform to standards.

Question 2

will this board hold my seagate 2tb sata hard driver?

cms 8gb 4x2gb ram ddr2

geforce gt 610 graphics card?

Accepted Answer

You have to check the soecs on the board. What interface is your cideo card for example? PCI, PCI Express, AGP? Which version if its PCI Express?

How big is your case? That is probably a more relevant issue for your video card.

Besides, this is a LOW budget board. It has CPU and video on board already. It is not a powerhouse. Its a good workhorse for some types of applications.

Memory: check manufacturer's list of recomended sticks or find someone on a forum who already tried what you want to use.

Again, this is cheapo board. Don't wasre time and money adding a graphics card to it.

Supports SATA3. Your HD will be fine.

Question 3

OKAY SO I BOUGHT Sentey Classic Series CS1-1399 Mid Tower Case w/ Power Supply SECC 0.5mm 2x USB/ Card Reader SD-MMC / ATX-MATX case as it says it has an sd card reader but on my motherboard ASUS E45M1-M PRO AMD E-450 APU AMD Hudson M1 Micro ATX Motherboard/CPU Combo it doesn't have a slot how do i do to connect it?

Accepted Answer

The SD/MMC card reader has wires that need to be connected to the USB ports on the MB.  There should be instructions with the case on the wires and where they need to be connected to. My system had four wires (they were independent - not in a jack) Make sure the correct wire connects to the correct pin on the MB.

Question 4

1. which power supply do you recommend with this board?
2. which graphics card do you recommend with this board (some games like rocksmith or basic mmo's)

Accepted Answer

I have an Acer Aspire Desktop. The Hookups are all the same but the tower had to be modified to accept the new mother board.. The only problem that I have run into is that the Windows 7 program that my computer came installed with keeps giving me a not genuine notice and if you don't have a disc for windows 7 that you can reinstall. It will continue. I had to shut off the auto update and pick and choose the best ones to keep my computer running until I can afford the windows 7 disc. 
It is alot faster than the original one that came in the computer. Does work well and came with a disc for the mother board.
