So, I ordered a new keyboard a few days ago. A Logitech Wireless K750 to be specific. And I gotta say I love it. Anyway, I got it yesterday, but when I was at the post office picking up the package, it was a suspiciously big and heavy package. When I got home and opened it, I found not only my keyboard, but also an ASUS GeForce GTX580 DirectCUII, which I didn't pay for. As you can imagine, I was a bit surprised!
So, I was thinking that if the people at the store I bought it from don't notice their mistake, I'll keep the thing and build a new computer. And this brings me to my reason for posting here. I don't really know much about component compatibility. Is there anything important I need to keep in mind (aside from the GPUs massive size) when choosing a motherboard, a CPU, etc.? I assume some component types/brands work better together than others. I also assume the importance of this varies with each component.
Could you guys give me some pointers - specifically with the GPU I mentioned in mind - as to what I should be looking for?
