I made the mistake of thinking the computer experts at the store could help me. The store itself is a nightmare. They have zero organization, it is like a yard sale.i spent several thousand dollars buying everything i would need to build a pc. The employees seem nice enough, but i don't think they know anything nor do they care. I am now at home with piles of redundant unrelated cables and hardware. Not one screw in this package fits any hole on the case or a single component. I have about 30 unmarked cables that don't seem to fit any port on anything.i think i may actually need 2, but thanks for all the decoy's. Considering i wanted all amd stuff i'm curious why half this crap is invidia. Too bad the stuff i was given isn't compatible, if only someone at the store had a computer database they could check this on...
i told the employee that computers aren't my specialty, that the thing i needed help with the most was making sure the components i was buying would go together.i was willing to spend what it took to get the whole package, like a kit. I didn't want the "auto-zone treatment". I specifically asked to make sure the hardware would be included. What i got is the opposite. None of the sealed packages i received have any type of instuctions or directions. The only documents included are legal disclaimers about how the manufacturer takes zero responsibility. Could they have labeled something, anything? Like these half dozen fans i'm supposed to install intelligently, couldn't someone have indicated the direction they spin? Maybe an arrow telling what side is the top? How about a cable with 7 connectors branching off of it, maybe more that the letters p and c would have been helpful. Lucky for me none of these cables match any ports so i don't have to worry. The icing on the cake is, now that i am home seeking help on the internet i can't even search for the parts as most of the labels include numbers and letters mixed together and printed in some robot font so there is no way to distinguish 0-o, 3-e, s-5, or 1-i-l etc.
in conclusion, after spending the whole day shopping at microcenter, i would have preferred being mugged and beaten.

Tip for consumers:
supposedly i can return all this stuff, i don't as of yet know how or if this will happen. and even if there is a full refund wasting time and money isn't free for me.

Products used:
so far none, as none of the parts in my "kit" are compatible.
