The manufacturer websites will say so. For every motherboard they have a list of supported CPUs and the BIOS versions they require and lists of tested and known-good RAM. For ram particularly, you can do a cross-search on the RAM manufacturer website. All other stuff you can pretty much assume to be compatible. Obviously you need to check the sizes and so on. It'll take you a long way if you verify the components are "ATX compatible" ATX is the standard form factor of computers. Power supplies take a bit of math or user references. 

 

There are websites that list compatibilities and some do even a fair job, such as www.pcpartpicker.com but bare in mind, third parties are not liable for mistakes. Verify everything on first party sites!

Yeah, the manufacturers will list compatible parts on their sites and pcpartpicker isn't bad at doing that either. But still, post your planned build here on the forums so someone can double check it. GLHF!

Indeed.

 

Usually each part will have a specification listed that is specific to a certain model of hardware or interface.

 

CPUs need a specific socket

RAM has different speeds and channels (duo/quad)

GPUs work in any PCI-E slot but 1.0 will bottleneck them

Etc... 

 

All in the video really :) Haven't seen such video in years tbh.

Only if u want to keep the power supply for your next more demanding upgrade. 

 

Having 50-100watts more than u currently need is fine. Having more than is useless unless my first point is your case.

 

I'm Linus covered this topic either on techquickie channel or his own. Look it up for more info :)
