Question 1

looking for more parts for my cpu build new to this just  have this product and a 800 w power supply looking for compatible parts?

Accepted Answer

The Asus Support website for this motherboard provides a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for compatible products that should help you.  That list is not all inclusive.  Those are products that Asus tested to be compatible.  Here is what I bought to build my PC around this motherboard:
Antec P280 case
Intel i5-4670
Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2
Crucial Ballistix Tactical 8GB Kit 2X4GB DDR3 1600 CL8 1.5V
Samsung 840 PRO Series 128GB
Western Digital 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0 Gb/s
Pioneer 20X SATA DVD Burner

This worked well for me, but I am not a gamer.  The MoBo has been solid for over 6 months now.  Be sure to download and install the latest BIOS when you get the rig built.  I believe it is version 0902.

Your 800W power supply implies that you intend to have a much bigger, more capable rig.

Good luck.

Question 2

How many case fans will work on this motherboard?

Accepted Answer

It really only has the header for the CPU fan, you should be buying fans with the standard molex connector. If you do that you can hook up bunches thru your power supply.
