Not sure if this is the right place. I'm building a new computer around an i-3 2120. It will be used for word processing and a few non intensive/taxing games. I also have a GeForce 8400 GS. I have 3x2 DDR3 1600 sticks that I'd like to use in the new computer. At the moment I'm looking at an ASUS P8B75-V as it has 4x240 slots. I'm hoping I can use all 3 sticks in it but I'm not sure.

Is this possible?

Also, what size power supply would I need for this? No OC, no high performance...just a simple vanilla machine for legal research and documentation.

I'm open to other suggestions for mobo, ps and case. Price is important!

Thanks,
Burt
