This is touching a couple really touchy subjects on this forum...however I am really tired of repeating myself on every question I answer, so I am creating this in personal reference to link it to my question, if anyone else uses it, please do not blow up my inbox or message or respond to this in regards of arguing. Anyone that does will be reported, no questions asked. Again this is a personal use, if you want to use it great that is what it is there for, however I don't want any responses or comments that are not questions (not arguing questions either).

Memory (RAM) of the Motherboard (DDR3, Not DDR5):

First let me start off by saying the difference between DDR3 and DDR5 is a major thing. DDR5 is what powers the graphics, it is integrated into the video processor in the video card. If your CPU supports integrated video it probably doesn't support the DDR5. DDR3 is your computer memory (RAM), this is what makes your computer access programs and games faster. Most of the time i do recommend the following:

AMD Builds: DDR3 1866 MHz + (Or higher depending on if your overclocking or not)
Intel Builds: DDR3 1600 MHz + (Or higher depending on if your overclocking or not)

For all builds I do recommend 8 GB (you also do not need more then this unless you are running programs that require more or your doing video/music rendering/encoding
