I've read around a lot, and I still have a few questions. I designed the computer below, but I'm not sure how to tell if parts are compatible. How do I tell if a graphics card works with my motherboard? Sound card? I really don't know, but I did try my best to make a decent, cheap PC. I've listed links to the parts below, can anyone tell me if they will work together?

Case w/ Power Supply:

Motherboard:

I really appreciate any and all help!
 
umm... whats with all the old stuff. socket A radeon 7500. 256MB of ram. ...? what is this comp for? most the stuff is compatible
 
I actually plan on using the computer as a mini unix server (learning unix). You said my stuff was old, what would you recommend? I chose Socket A because that's what my processor said it needed... but if I should go with something newer, let me know.

Also, I am on a budget.
 
Okay, I don't want to use Socket A. Which one should I go with? Also, I'm thinking of changing to an AMD 64 bit processor.
 
i was just asking? i need to know what your using the comp before i can say good or bad. but for that its pretty good
