How do I know if my computer will support Zorin?

Hi,

I am planning on building a computer this summer. I can' t justify spend $100+ on Windows so I want to try Zorin OS 9. However, I have done some research and can't find anyplace that will tell me if my hardware that I will be using is compatible with Zorin. Below is the PC part picker list of the parts I will be using. If any of you wonderful people could tell me if Zorin 9 will work with these components that would be great.

Thanks.

It's hard to say - manufacturers are geared to proprietary drivers - all I can say is download the live version and give it a try - please note that it is a pae kernel which will require an 'iX' processor (i3, i5 i7) or any AMD Processor.

OK. So I won't know if it will work with my computer until I build it and try? Also, if it doesn't work then I will be forced to buy Windows?

Like I said before don't blame Zorin, don't blame GNU/Linux - blame hardware producers who only think about that other OS!
