as far as general question that need help with are:
1. if i get a new motherboard what things inside the pc might not be compatible from the old motherboard ?
2. how to know if the cpu and motherboard are compatible ?
3. upgrading the motherboard is the way to up the amount of max ram that is supported ?
4. if i upgrade the motherboard would i need to upgrade the power supply ?
5. if i upgrade the graphics card to need to upgrade the power supply ?
6. how do i know if the graphics card is compatible with the motherboard ?
