Please check New hybrid spec's

[chipppy]

Hello community

As a noob I am ordering a new PC to make into a Hybrid.  My idea is to ask now if anyone can see hardware spec problems so as to try and avoid any 'issue' later (good planning).  I would like to use a newer Graphic Card but I am unsure of what to use and the highest power card that will not be a huge effort to get up and running. 
I am happy to fix bugs and stuff if there is an idiot guide (step by step) for me to follow but I would prefer not to have to fix a new bug.
Also do you think that is a good Mainboard or would you recommend a Asus board of some type as these seem to be more supported.

This is the system specs are (including everything) as bleow

Hello chippy,

the safest bet with regards to hardware is the wiki. If you find the board in the wiki, you know what to think of it.

Apart from that, I do know that people have had stability problems with the Nova T-500 under 0710, but that it works better on the 0810 alpha (according to niz23)
