Hello everyone, quick question here, I found this case on Newegg:

and I wanted to make sure it had a 24 pin power connection to hook up to with either of these mobo's

Also, will these mobo's fit in this case?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

Yes the mobos will fit in the case.

I can't answer the 24 pin power connection as the specs on the case w/psu do not specify a 24 pin power connector. I would assume it has a standard 20 pin and an additional 4 pin connector but that's just my guess. You may be able to purchase an adapter for the 20 pin to 24 pin power connect.

As a general rule, I purchase a quality PSU based on system needs, even when the case is sold with a PSU. I keep the original case PSU as a backup for testing and emergency purposes. The reason being, the PSU's sold with cases tend to be less than the quality I am comfortable with. My opinion is to spec out the PSU you need (24 pin power connector and 420W or more) from a quality manufacturer like Antec, Thermaltake etc. and plan on spending the additional money upfront on your initial purchase.
