Quickie intro:
I am a gamer beyond a doubt. I have been in the process of putting together a PC for the last few days. If anyone sees any red flags with build feel free to say it please. Some are bought in combos. I made sure that if i did this they would benefit me first.

My Grand Total is:

$1,140.91

I have never spent this much money in a long shot on a com due to "financial" situations that have caught me up. I would love for anyone to tell me its great. Or that they see or do not see any red flags.:D

Also, if anyone else the time to suggest a build that may be relative cheap or a lil bit more expensive ($200 more max) go ahead i would love to read it.

i got this rig but the ram would not work on the system. while trying to boot up, i get the red dram led. MemOK! did nothing. Also i reset cmos and double check the vid card and cpu and it was all installed correctly. I even tried a different stick of RAM and same occurred. I pulled battery reset cmos again and checked everything over and nothing changed. No beeps or sounds.
I tried booting without ram and still nothing. black screen. No boot at all.


Am i looking at a defective motherboard? I doubt that all the Ram sticks were defective since they were made by different companies.
