Quick compatibility question regarding Windows 7

[philboy38]

I am doing my first build now with the exact parts currently recommended on www.mysuperpc.com. I would like to use Windows 7 x64 as my operating system, but wanted to make sure that my components are compatible with this OS. Can I get a quick verification that I should be ok to order the x64 from NewEgg (7 Professional OEM for System Builders) with:


Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
Crucial Ballistix 1024MB PC2-8500 DDR2 (4GB total)
eVGA Geforce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB DDR3 PCI-E
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200rpm SATA 300 MB/s


Thanks, gents!

No problem with hardware compatibility.
You should be more concerned about the software you plan to use.

What kinds of issues/restrictions will be most common for software on a 64 bit OS?

Some older software just wasn't written for 64-bit operating systems. Do you have some old programs that you plan to use?
