I have had some help with a build I am planning on building and have made some additions as well as some changes, but I was wondering what issues upgrading a certain part may cause for other components. If I were to upgrade my CPU or Video Card what other components would I have to take into consideration?

with cpu upgrade you have to look at the motherboard cpu guild online see if it supports your newer cpu. a few of the intel mb will support newer cpu with a bios update. you have to update the bios first or your rig wont post. with gpu upgrades it your power supply that you have to look at. look at the total wattage and the wattage and amp rating on the 12v line and how many video power cords are on it. some video cards have one/two six pin pci power plugs some have one six pin and one 8 pin some need two 8 pin power plugs.
