im looking for a cheaper case with a powersupply
 
I'm assuming that freestyler didn't catch that, because open boxes don't come with any hardware/cables/etc..JUST the mobo...I'm assuming he knows that :) Here's the 'closed' box mobo ;-)
 
its more expensive though..im looking for things that are the same price or cheaper
 
umm..you accidentally posted the motherboard twice...
the link that u gave me for memory is the same as the link for the motherboard

and will the gpu work with my mobo...cause the mobo is a micro ATX, and the comments for the gpu say that
LONG, card is 9in long so use only on a ATX motherboard, anything smaller it wont fit, HOT, i have bad air circulation in my case so it runs really hot for me(60c at idle)

OK, fixed.

And the guy quoted meant an ATX case an not motherboard. The mobo I linked to still has a PCIE slot.
 
Open box is good, assuming you have the cables...
All you need is SATA/IDE cables, and anyone who's building a computer should have them lying around anyway. And extras should come with your drives.

That motherboard is way, way better than the one you picked out. Do whatever you want though...
