PSU and Ram

blacklex said:

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,
Blacklex

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 ...
