Alright, so as it stands right now, I have an:
Intel motherboard (D865PERL)
Intel processor (2.4B, 533MHz FSB)
Radeon 9800PRO (128MB)
But, for Christmas, I'm shopping on Newegg. I was looking for a good video card, and decided to go with a 7800GT. However, the video card is PCI-E, so I had to upgrade my motherboard as well. Luckily, the 7800GT comes with a free PCI-E/SLI motherboard. Unfortunately the motherboard would have been incompatible with my current processor. The motherboard that comes wit hthe 7800GT is an AMD 939. So, I added a processor on to the list. Now the only thing I'm worried about is that, if I get all of this, switch out the motherboard, video card, and processor, and attempt to turn it back on, will it work? Or are there additional steps I have to take before switching from Intel to AMD?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Edit: here are the links to the things I'll be getting. If you see any errors already, let me know please!
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
eVGA Geforce 7800GT PCI-E
and the motherboard that comes with it:
eVGA 133-K8-NF41 ATX AMD
Intel motherboard (D865PERL)
Intel processor (2.4B, 533MHz FSB)
Radeon 9800PRO (128MB)
