So I have gone out and decided to build a pc and be part of the master race 
!!!!!!!! I went on pcpartpicker, watched countless hours of videos, read books/manuals, talked to people both online and in person, and have done everything in my power to make the process smooth. I stayed away from bad brands and I also stayed away from products with a tendency to be defective just to make it easy. WELL GOSH DANGIT I HAVE HARDWARE ISSUES ;(((((((!!!!!!!!! I am really discouraged about this and for the money I paid I really hoped that the hardest thing I would do was putting it together, not trouble shooting hardware. So here is my situation and a link to my build will be below. I do not have my graphics card or monitor yet but I decided to start building. I grabbed my antistatic wrist strap, took the carpet out of the room, cleaned my hands and started to work. It wasn't to hard, actually quite enjoyable. So I installed the psu, cooler, cpu, some fans, the ram, and the mobo. then I wen I was done, I was practically shaking because I was sooooo careful, I powered it on to see b7 on the mobo. then my heart sank. so I researched and did some tests with 1 ram with each dim and for each I got error 50 something (both errors are ram related) Anyways I reinstalled the cpu and tried again and again with the same result so something is defective. But this is where my questions come in; should I wait till my gpu comes in so I can get a visual? should I update the bios, could the update make a difference? I just want the damn thing to work before Christmas and idk if I should just rma now both the mobo and ram or attempt something else. Even that idk the rma number to talk to newegg, can somebody drop it below? I am confused as hell, any insigjht at all regarding anything would be really nice
