Get back with Nvidia and you'll be good to go.

I have this memory, you might like it. I love it.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227210 $186.

I never recommend overclocking. I'm one of those guys where if something breaks I want to send it back, but hey, thats your perogative. I still don't think you need 550w's.

You might consider buying a thunderblade Fan, it's really quiet and moved alot of Air. Especially with that case - I don't think it comes with any. Buy two. One for front, one for back.

Re: Custom PC Experts, please.

I just bought the ram today, becuase there wasa 50 dollar mail in rebate (which means I would hvae to purchase it ASAP).

The others I will buy this week/next week.

Re: Custom PC Experts, please.

dont worry about the conflickting reports from the fanboys nvidia/ati asus/dfi

same thing with ram the most important thing to know about ram is that there are only 4 or 5 munufactures of ram and corsair/xms/geil all buy from these factories the cost differnece is becasue the corsair and such test the ram at specified speeds and the value are not it's the chips on the boards that make the difference i run cheap ram and with minor tweeks i get 10% increase in fps...

if u get the latest or newest tech from either the system will work really well...do not drop back to older chipsets if you can get next gen or current gen tech it will last for a while before upgrading is needed again



and if it is your first build which i doubt have fun

Please don't talk about ram if you have no idea what you are saying. Those companies don't manufacture ram. They only thing those companies really do is test and bin the memory then sell it to us.

I think he is trying to say that a select few companies... such as Samsung, or Infineon, or micron make the ram chips, then OCZ, G.Skill, and Corsair validate and put the chips on a PCB and sell them etc....

But getting back to corsair and DFI problems, most of that stems from Corsair having some aggressive SPD timings that didn't play nice with DFI. 9/10 people will probably be fine with Corair on DFI, but since there are so many alternatives (cheaper i may add for the most part) I still would diswade anyone from matching a DFI mobo and corsair ram.

Right, and they don't even manufacture the PCB's themselves.
