To be honest when you have these conflicts you pretty much end up with a non-functional, barely functional computer. I recently built a computer and learned quite a bit about these conflicts. At the start insure that whatever you buy is designed to be compatible with everything in your system. Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your hardware and that the OS is supported by the software you pick. The kind of problems you'll run into is a for example. If a program does not work on your OS it either will not show up at all and probably will not even be able to install. If the Hardware is incompatible in any way the computer will not even see it, and if it does it will not be able to make it work. When building a system most of your time should be spent doing research on your components making sure that they are all compatible.
