That RAM is the incorrect one for a desktop computer, you require the kind shown in the image link below, Its DDR3 the lower one in the image. Also I would spend an extra twenty dollars and go for the Intel i5-3750K which has some great reviews and can be overclocked. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

No problem Yeah as far as i can see, all i would ask is, do you need that motherboard? Its one of the higher tiers, however they are much cheaper ones. Not being from the US i won't link you one, but if you want to save then look for another Socket 1155 motherboard and you may be able to save money which you can put towards an SSD which will make your computer load considerably faster.

that motherboard is over priced and if you don't even know what special features it can do no need for a high end board, just to play minecraft and COD< these parts will do fine and everything is good

like to be honest that board has tons of features and excellent of overclocking but for that price, you can get the cpu, ram, and probably a cpu cooler for that price lol

I my honest opinion you should get an 17 CPU so it can go along with your GPU if you know what I mean. ;)


Edit: Steep on the MB I think you should get a cooler if you are going to be getting all that stuff. BTW PM me for a new good MB have tons of better ones at a WAY cheaper price.

in my view it would be a waste of money, with extra money he could get a nice gaming mouse and other goodies

like im perfectly happy with my i7 3770k and z77x ud5h.
*back to topic*

if i was you, i would just get a medium budget mobo and upgrade to i5 3570k or i7 3770k
