Hi everyone. I've recently decided to build my own PC and have done quite a bit of research on all the basics. However, being an overcautious guy, I am hoping that someone out there can help prevent me from making noob mistakes.
Just recently, I found out that if I wanted a DDR3 RAM, the motherboard has to be DDR3 compatible. This was luck on my part as all the sites I visited failed to mention this. It might be common sense, but I had no idea.
I'd like to know what else I should know before making my purchases, and I hope you guys can help.
For example, is it true that my motherboard also has to be SATA III compatible if I intend to purchase an SATA III SSD?
How do I pick a GPU that won't be bottlenecked by the CPU? I mean, what determines what and what do I refer to; the numbers? Ahh!
Anything else (essential) I'm forgetting? Thanks.
