For the mobo, CPU, and RAM, I would agree, but power supplies and graphics cards have been forwards and backwards compatible for roughly a decade.

- WalterBright 10y agoNot in my experience. The disk drive power connectors have changed, the fan connections multiply, and the mobo/graphics cards sprout extra needed connections.
- p1mrx 10y agoThe SATA power connector is ~14 years old, and graphics cards often come with adapters for the PCI-E power connectors. Some GPUs (like the GTX 1050 Ti) are entirely powered by the PCI-E slot.
