This doesn't hurt much of the build, the motherboard seats = fine and all of that, but what it did affect is my video card = mounting/seating. Because the connection to the motherboard is on one = plane, and the rear of the card is supposed to be perpendicular but was = slightly off, they wouldn't line up properly.

Ever so slightly mind you, but enough that it = caused some issues and I kept having to check what the heck was going = on.
