I am building a PC and was about to get this RAM, but on Newegg it said it was compatible with the i7 1st/2nd/3rd gen...I didn't know I had to check for CPU compatibility as long as it works with my motherboard.

The RAM is DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) and my motherboard supports it, will it not work with my CPU?

Here is the newegg link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-231-416&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=100&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Keywords=i7&Page=1#scrollFullInfo

It will support it just fine. All you have to do is enable XMP ( extreme memory profile ) in BIOS. No overclocking involved.
