Provide any additional details you wish below.
Just doing a compatibility test particularly with my power supply which was taken from an old 2012 build that I made as well as a RAM check. Just another note, I'm going to wait on the graphics card and just temporarily throw in my Sapphire - Radeon R9 290X 4GB Tri-X OC Video Card until I can find a reasonably priced 1080ti.
