Pain in the ass, isn't it. I surfed for a month while building and rebuilding my new system on paper. I was triple checking compatibility and all that BS. I've built enough systems by now to know that if you don't check everything that fancy new feature will nott work to it's full potential unless you get the compatible part. It used to be that just the CPU and memory needed to be checked for compatibility. Now you have to make sure the PSU, video card, and MB can all play nice together as well. The only shit truly plug and play anymore are the USB devices. On a side note: I finally ordered my crap and now I just received a notice that UPS is gonna delay delivery for another day. Grrrrrrrrr.
