I'm usually an Intel based PC builder but one thing you need to be sure of is that the CPU, RAM and Motherboard are all compatible with regards to BUS sizes and speeds. PIN configurations obviously need to match for Mobo and CPU and RAM needs to be of the right DDR type so the physical aspects line ...

The way I see it, there's always someone better than someone else out there. No matter what. No matter what my skill level was, I'd probably never hack back. Much like poking a stick into a hornets nest, you'd better be prepared to get stung.
