HDD (hard disk) compatibility has nothing to do with RAM or processor.

The HDD only needs to be compatible with the motherboard. There are only two types of HDD connections, SATA and IDE (also known as PATA, EIDE). See link 1 and link 2. So either of these types of HDDs can hook up to your motherboard as long as your motherboard came with the connections.

Next, RAM and processor compatibility have little to do with each other and are dependent on what the motherboard will support. There are many different types of RAM, each of which will only fit in a certain type of slot on a motherboard. For more information on RAM, please read up: link 1 and link 2.

Again, the processor fits into the motherboard based on the chipset it was built with by the manufacturer. There are many types of processors and many chipsets. For further reading: Intel chipsets link and AMD chipset link. For further reading about processors: link

I'm sorry that I'm not able to do more for you, but your post leaves me with a very broad range of things to explain... books are written about these things. I hope this is able to help you.
