In this segment of the video, the speaker explains the differences between LGA 1151 versions for different CPU generations: red dot 1 for 6th and 7th gen CPUs, and red dot 2 for 8th and 9th gen CPUs. The chipset of the motherboard affects the number of connectors and features available, such as overclocking and dual GPU support. GPU compatibility is crucial, requiring a motherboard with PCI Express 3.0 interface. The new PCI Express 4.0 interface on some motherboards is not essential yet as GPUs don’t use it. Physical fit, support for dual GPU setups, and RAM compatibility are also discussed.

In this part of the video, the key points discussed include:
– DDR4 RAM is only compatible with DDR4 motherboards, and mixing DDR3 and DDR4 will not work.
– It is important to check the maximum supported RAM capacity and speed for both the CPU and motherboard.
– DDR4 speeds typically range from 2133 MHz to 3200 MHz, with some kits going up to 4866 MHz.
– Ensure that the RAM speed is compatible with both the CPU and motherboard to avoid issues.
– Most mainstream motherboards and CPUs support between 64 and 128 gigabytes of RAM.
– Look into dual channel or quad channel RAM setups compatibility for performance.
– Consider SATA 3 and M.2 connectors for storage compatibility, with NVMe SSDs offering fast storage speeds.
– Selecting the right power supply with adequate wattage is crucial, exceeding the power requirements of all hardware components.
