Hello everyone,

I've been trial and error building my system for the past three weeks now. The short version is I bought some used (supposedly working) parts from a buddy but ran into some compatibility issues with the video card and my OLD motherboard (which was an Intel DP67BG). Basically, I was able to the boot the system but the display adapter would crash IMMEDIATELY when any 3d application was ran.

I figured it was the motherboard so Intel was nice enough to send me a new motherboard which is what is listed below (DZ77).

My concerns now is with this new motherboard, will all the parts work together? And if they will work, do I need to adjust the timings of the RAM or set the voltage to something different. I've been reading the voltage should be at 1.5v and timings manually adjusted. I'm very confused and am just tired of all this TS'ing. :( 

Thank you so much for all your help!

Here is what I have now:

Motherboard:
Intel DZ77RE-75K

Processor:
Intel i7 2600K

Memory:
PXD38G1600LLK
DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Timing 8-9-8-24
Cas Latency 8
Voltage 1.65V

PSU:
CX750

Hi, N3tCode

The processor should be compatible as long as you have BIOS update 21.
The RAM is supported, and the PSU should be good (750 watt requirement for the card) but you might want to look for a slightly larger one, just in case.

Check here to verify.

I'd plug it all in and see if it works because, based on the requirements, it should be fine.
