OK...quick question. With this ASUS P8H77-M/CSM LGA 1155 Intel H77 motherboard I just bought (should be in tomorrow) can I expect any surprises when I hook it up or should I just remove old board...carefully install the processor back in it and then replace the wiring and video card and ram and be good to go? Or is there anything else that may snake up on me in the process? I am hoping for it to be simple and not to throw me for a loop that completely blocks my limited computer experience (which is simply replacing the video cards/ram/power supply) you know the plug and play stuff. Huh

Of course I could be just worrying with something that is so simple its not a big deal.

One of the annoying things that could snake up (ASUS did this to me in particular) is the NIC driver for the board might be missing. I recommend downloading a driver kit FOR the board before it comes in and putting it on a thumb drive or external drive. The driver CD they sent me with my board wasn't even a match to my board, which resulted in my having to drive to my buddy's house with a usb drive and download the NIC driver from his machine... That is the only time ASUS pissed me off Grin

Other than that, everything I have ever gotten from them has been good.

Should be straightforward
Only issue could be the case, as mb outputs may not match
Most cases have a removable panel, that can be replaced with one that comes with MB
But i have seen cases that don't, so if MB layout is different, if wont fit

Also, not sure how license for windows will work, as your activation will be associated with you old MB
Maybe can be transferred, but not sure on that

does the new board accept the same RAM as your old board?

lots of variables with RAM..

how old is your old computer? does it have HDMI outputs?

I am old and some of these issues may be dated...

Current Ram is:
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) D

The mother board:
Memory

Number of Memory Slots 4×240pin

Memory Standard DDR3 2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600/1333

Maximum Memory Supported 32GB

So I take it that it would support my current 2 DDR3 ram sticks....and I am sure that my Corsair 600W power supply would hook right up as would my Nvidea GeForce GTX 650 Ti video card (of course I would have to buy two more sticks)

Now later on (and by later I mean after I get this bit running) could I add two sticks of:

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M1A1866C10

with my current:

CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) D

and it work since one is DDR3 1866 and the other DDR3 1600 or do all 4 sticks have to be either 1600 or 1866? Is 1866 that much faster than 1600?
