Will my Vid Card work? or should I send it back.
I submitted my order for a new PC on Monday and will be receiving it today. The only thing that I'm worried about is that my video card may not be compatible with the mobo. The original vid card I wanted was out of stock, so I decided to upgrade to the next level. Now I'm having doubts creeping in that it might not work, so I wanted to check here before I opened anything up. Here's my mobo and vid card. Thanks for any help you can give.
mobo ASUS P5B-E LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail vid card EVGA 256-P2-N624-AR GeForce 7900GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 KO Video Card - Retail |

Those are both PCI-E x16, so will work together just fine. As along as they're the same slot type, almost always parts will work.

No, you're good to go.
That's not to say that you won't have any problems but that won't be it. If you want more reassurance read a few of the buyer reviews, the ones using Geforce cards.

The only thing I would be concerned about is your power supply choice.

Make sure your psu is of good quality and from a reputable co like Antec, Xclio, Enlight,Forton Thermaltake etc... Here is a list of psu to buy and stay away from.

That Corsair is in fact a great PSU. The only reason it isn't on that list is because the Corsair branded PSUs are still relatively new and we haven't seen long term results yet. What we've seen of them so far is very promising though, and they have gotten quite popular here.

You did not follow the link to the updated list - so I just edited it out.
