Your new case should come with brass mounting screws that screw directly into the case and the spacers that keep the MB at a distance from the body of the case. Use the spacers! If you just screw the board straight on to the case, you will blow the whole project.
The studs are screwed into the chassis of the case.Make sure you have your anti-static protection in place, then carefully place the board into the case to determine where the studs should be put. Put a fine tip felt pen through the holes in the board and mark the chassis where the studs should go. This prevents you putting in a stud that doesn’t match up with a hole on the board. Check the positioning and screw the studs into the chassis. You can also use the plastic spacers but I generally keep them for the edges of the board if there are any spare holes on the board.
When the studs are firmly in the chassis, you can screw the motherboard in to the case via the studs.
But it is easier to install the CPU and Heatsink/Fan on the MB before you screw it into the case, because you have more room outside of the case.
