I have all my parts and began putting my parts on the mobo for testing, for some reason I got a memory error
(1 long beep and 2 short beeps) I tried different configurations but no luck. So I think my RAM is incompatible, no I'm looking for some dirt cheap (still average quality) RAM. I ran memory test btw to.

~Specs~

Mobo- M5A97 R2.0

CPU- FX-6300

GPU- msi GTX 770 2GB

RAM- some random DDR3 I got at staples

Optical drive- also something I got at staples

Hard drive- Seagate 1TB

If more info is needed please ask

What was the DRAM what model #? Is it a 2 stick set?, prob nothing wrong with it, start with a single stick in slot 1, go into BIOS and manually set the freq and base timings, set DRAM voltage to + 0.05 over spec and then save, shut down and add the 2nd stick, then give it a try. Staples carries a lot of basic, value, entry level DRAM
