Build Help Mainly Mobo/RAM

Solution
The 8350 is worth it for just $20 more. Yes, that RAM is compatible but you may need to go into your BIOS to change the RAM speed to get it to run at the advertised 2133. $200 seems like a lot for 16gb RAM to me though. You could get 8gb now and later on add another 8gb if you needed it.

If you're set on getting 16gb though I'd have to recommend this to save you about $45. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231528

You see a very small if any fps gain above 1600mhz RAM.

What are you going to be doing with this computer? If you're just going to be gaming, get 8GB of 1600mhz RAM. Your motherboard looks good but you should get a FX-8350 instead of the 8320 because it's just $20 more than the price on your list.

I will be doing some high end gaming and the like. I might upgrade to the 8350 then. I wanted to get 16GB of RAM for future proofing purposes. I mainly just wanted to know if that RAM is compatible with that Motherboard as it was only 10 dollars more and runs at 2133mhz instead of 1600.

All right thanks. I will take all that into consideration as my final build is subject to change.
