Guys, I am buying a new computer, but on parts. And I made the mistake to get first the Videocard, the CPU and RAM. Now I am about to buy a MB. How to understand if the MB will be compatible with the other parts? I checked the MHz of the RAM, the socket of the processor, the DDR, and the SATA things, and they match. Is that something more that I should check for? Thanks a lot :)

That motherboard will work just fine with that CPU, check this link

The RAM is not listed in the QVL, but don't worry about that, RAM is RAM and should work with any motherboard, the QVL is for motherboard companies to tell us (the consumer) that the RAM was tested on that specific motherboard with that specific RAM, I could not find my RAM in the QVL for my motherboard but it is working 100%

Out of curiosity, what CPU do you have? What RAM do you have? You don't have to worry about this or don't even have to check this but I like to check out the Qualified Vendors List (QVL) for the RAM to see if the motherboard I am about to purchase was tested with that RAM.
