PSU and Ram
blacklex
I have a unique problem right now. I accidentally bought the wrong ram but I'm not sure if even the PSU works either. I bought some ripjaws memory that is only compatable with an AM3+ platform and I am FM2. Not only what but I'm not sure if my psu works. it is an NZXT 550w. This is my first build and I am very disappointed. Can someone help me figure out if the PSU is broken? I know the ram is bad but im not sure if the PSU will even run with bad ram.
Thanks in advanced,

you did not say the model of the RAM. I think you are ok ... coz FM2 uses from DDR3-1600 to DDR3-2133 , OFC for onboard GPU , DDR3-2133 is the way to go ... but it will work slower with lower Memory ... -
