I have an ASUS P8P67 PRO & ordered an i7 core 3770k CPU. There are a couple memory cards available to me. Either 4gb (2x2gb) G. Skill F3-10666CL8D 1333 mhz or Patriot PSD31G1235 1333mhz 8gb (4x2gb) of which I am Not sure of is compatible with the motherboard and CPU, or if neither is. I keep looking for a site find out. I am also trying to make a decision on all those graphic cards that are out there, actually there so many that I am so confused I can't see straight. I know that the G Force 700 series is very good but can be very expensive. I've started running very low on funds now so I was wondering if you could recommend one that might be in the couple hundred range?

first off, 8gb is about right these days. 4gb is a bit low. so go with 4x2gb 1600 (or 1866 if you like)

as for the gpu, there is not much to worry about in terms of compatibility. you have a modern board so just buy a recent gpu in your price range.
about the price, well, it's just like cars, you want a good one, you will have to pay for it.
personally, i would not go lower than a 750Ti, or may a 7770 (or whatever is the AMD equivalent)
