Our second topic is compatibility. Compatibility in a pc is a very important piece in a pc. If some parts arent compatible with others the whole pc might not work so when building a pc compatibility is a big factor. The most important parts to look out for is the processor and motherboard. Not all processors fit in all motherboard.

Processors come in different socker sizes so there are different motherboards for different sizes. The most common socket size especially for gaming is am4. This one is the most common since there is a lot of room for upgrades since new processors in this socket size come out very frequently.
