So I'm looking to upgrade my motherboard but I have a few questions before I do or buy anything.
What I have now is a Lancaster8 SR5202HM LGA 775
Intel Celeron E3400 2.6ghz cpu
2gbs of Ram
and a psu of 250 w
W/ Vista Home Premium Edition.
No Gpu or anything like that yet.
Soon here I'm going to purchase a new gpu and 400w psu and eventually a new 500gb sata hdd (which is what got me started on the look for a new mobo with more sata connectors.) and for the one I found all parts seem to be compatible.
The new motherboard I am considering buying is below.

Right now my mobo only supports ddr2 ram and the new one supports ddr3 up to 8gb so I know I need to upgrade ram which isnt an issue and
What I'm wondering is when the motherboard is replaced and everything is connected like it should be will I run into any issues? Will I need a bigger psu? Will I need to update anything? New Drivers? etc? Thanks
