New pc build...thoughts and recomendations.

[TheUnknown]

So I'm asking for a little direction here because I've been reading the threads on building pc's on the forum I'm a bit confused about something . The audio card that I'm going to be using is an m audio delta 44, which is a pci type card. My question is I've been reading there are some issues with pci type cards with some chips sets or specific motherboards.Again I've done a little bit of research here on the forum and I'm not sure exactly what those issues are.

This is the motherboard Im intending to pick up... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131792

I'm going to be putting an I7 2600k in it also

So any help guys would be greatly appreciated.

If your mobo has a working PCI or PCIe slot for an audio card to fit in and enough power from the PSU, you shouldn't have any problems.

It's the PCIe to PCI bridge on the Z and X series boards that have some issues with low latency isochronous devices. Some of the newer rev's of the chipset address this, but it's a crapshoot when you order unless you do some homework and find other people that have taken the plunge. The P67 boards do not appear to have this problem.
