As said "Few X58 mobos will take 8GB sticks, they (as a rule) top out with 4GB sticks.", the X58 chipset is designed towards 4GB sticks made with low density memory ICs, have seen some claim to run 8GB sticks - but few and far between

The Fury only work with newer chipsets starting with the 1155, P67, look at the GSkill NT series of value DRAM or their original Ripjaws series (not the X or Z lines, they are high density sticks as are most that are currently available)

I used to just by a new pc every 3 years for like 1500$ then make other one a back up or whatever.
This time i love my case and want to keep it... nxzt phantom and looks like a stormtrooper. It still was running most recent games around 30 fps on high but recently played beta of the division and realize if i want to play pvp games it struggles. So I upgraded from 6950 2gig card to 390x 8gb card, put in a new 200gig intell ssd, and few month back put new corsair radiator and new fans. So ive upgraded alot of stuff.
I understand im limited with 4 year old mobo and intel 960 processor and there might be some bottle necking but trying to eek out another 2 or 3 years with this mobo and power supply.
***after reading up a bit going to stay with 1333 ... ive read over 4gb might be another reason that not reading the memory but not buying that. at one point with the 2 8gig cards plus 3 2gb of old 1333mhz it was showing 20 gigs in windows.
it seems to change when i upgraded my video card this week. which is throwing off the voltage is my guess.
found this for G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory F3-10666CL9D-16GBXL
your advice trademan1, pretty much solidified my thought process on my ram issue. question im asking myself now is should i get 4gb card or 8? or just order the 8 and if doesnt work can always send back.
