Back plate

im about to build my first computer, and i chose a case and motherboard that i want, but i was wondering.....on the back of the computer case where all the openings for the connections are, the case and the motherboard im getting wont line up there because the connectors on the motherboard on the spaces on the case wont line up. Does the motherboard come with a custom plate so it matches up perfectly? or should i just take the plate off when i get it. the case the motherboard

im fairly new to all this, so thanks for the help

The motherboard should come with an I/O Shield included in the box. Replace the one that comes with the case with that one.
If you look at the second picture on the motherboard page you linked to, it is the rectangular thing just above the CD.

Welcome! Why did you pick a socket 478 motherboard? Kind of old technology. The motherboard should come with its own I/O Plate, they are kind of weak but will do unless you force your motherboard.

Is this a OEM or retail board? The OEM may not include the back plate.
