Hello everyone,
I haven't built a computer in some time so I thought I would check-in to see what people think of my most recent hardware upgrade that I just ordered from NewEgg and Tigerdirect (should receive in the next couple days).
New parts
Motherboard: Asus P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX

Parts from older existing system I will use

Monitor: Dell 30" LCD with 2560x1600 native resolution
So my main concern would be any glaring incompatibility or terrible decision I may have made or any other important thoughts/etc. I have never used an SSD hard drive before, does anyone foresee any issues? Thanks!
