Use original Dell components on non-Dell mobo?

Can I use Dell parts (namely GPU, CPU, and RAM) with a non-dell motherboard? Dell does all sorts of crap to their stuff, and I just want to be sure.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what you mean 34erd...

But yeah, everything should be compatable. I beleive the only thing that really wasn't in some Dell systems was the PSU...
