I've built systems before, but it has been awhile since my last and was hoping I could get some advice since hardware standards have changed so much in the last few years.
I'm putting together and AMD gaming system based on the new MSI 790FX-GD70 board
However I an a little confused on the ram standards used today when it comes to specific chipsets. The mobo is compatible with 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600*/1800*/2133* (OC) SDRAM, 16GB Max
The kit seems to be the correct voltage, timing etc but say's it's for the I7 series of CPU's. Does this mean it's incompatible with ATI chipsets/cpu's?
If it's not compatible could someone point me to a good 4gb G Skill DDR3 set that is compatible with my selected mobo? I've found a couple that MSI recommends but they are fairly expensive (Corsair) compared to G Skills prices.
The mobo you are going for only supports dual channel ddr3 ram. Correct me if I'm wrong but the only cpu's around that support triple channel are the i7's.
