What could cause an old GPU to not work on a newer system?

Oh man, I kinda forgot about this thread, I understand the confusion so here is the full context: I'm toying with the idea of migrating my workstation to unRAID, since most of my work involve VMs anyway. I'm hoping to use the 7300LE as the 'host' card, terminal output only, and dedicate my newer...

New system, need some advices.

The GA-P55A-UD4P looks descent to me. For some reasons I though the motherboard I chose had USB 3.0 and 6gbps sata. Even tho the i7 looks more like the right choice, I think sticking to the i5 can't be that bad. They seems to have similar performance (i7 920 vs i5 750) on tomshardware. "you...
