I'm just about to buy a new motherboard, the MSI 970 Gaming MOBO. I know that it is compatible with my FX 8320 processor, but is compatibility an issue with anything else? Do I have to worry about RAM, power supply, or GPU? This is probably a really stupid question, but I'd rather be safe than sorry, I'm new to this. I have a Radeon R9 280X by the way.

sometime with some parts there are small issues that are fixed with bios updates. you can read from the mb vendor wen page all of the bios patches and there patch notes. the biggest issue with mb and cpu is making sure the cpu is made for that mb and the mb bios rev is at a point it will post with the cpu you want. on older mb you have to be care full of getting a mb with old bios and no way to update it without sending the mb into the vendor or seeing if a friend has a cpu that you can use to boot and then flash the bios.
