Dear All,
I have chosen my parts for a VSTA 32 High end gaming rig with medium OC use. I would like to ask not for a critic of the build in general but if the parts are all compatible. I have gone through several rounds with friends and a few colleagues and am happy with the selection but as careful as I have been I would love the quick look over for you guys at Toms forum in case I have 1. Missed an issue with the parts 2. Missed a part all together!!

Price has already come in on budget sourcing from 3 vendors in Europe and really all I have to do now is put it together, so this is the last check, Thanks!

I'm not sure if your board will even run with 3 memory sticks. if it does, I doubt it wont be dual channel.
quite trying to save a couple of pennies on a high end system, get 2x 2gigs and have a little wasted, then your set when you get 64 bit

Yeah fair enough, the board does handle it but I had an issue that only 3 GB is used but have uped to 4 dual channel.
