Yes it will all work together, however please not that Abit has exited the Motherboard business so a warranty replacement may be an issue if needed.

I would not use a power supply that comes with a case most are junk, look for a case and power supply separately.

I take it you are going to use the onboard video?

I don't see a OS listed.

Thank you for your reply.

I will take my chances with the power supply and use the one that came with the case. Yes, i am going to be using the onboard video seen as it will only be used as a web server/FTP. As for operating system i don't really know. I have Windows Server 2003 (genuine) but i also have Ubuntu 8.10 server. Which one would you reccomend? This is the first time im trying my hand at running a home server.

My aim is to run a FTP so i can host some files and download anywhere at anytime also i would like a webserver so i can host my website. Would these two options be capable on just one server?

Thanks

Ryan.

You could use either depends on which you have more experience with Apache on Linux may prove easier to set up as a web server.

For an always on server I would rethink the power supply.

I will definately be looking at a new power supply.

Thank you for your help!
