hi guys :hello:  i am new to building computers and
i recently posted this thread to either go with the i7 or i5 build
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/276945-31-1200-gaming
and after a whole day of reading i have decided to go with the i5 build
but im stumped when it comes to the memory because when i was buidling my i7 build i used Patriot Viper Tri Channel 6GB PC10666 DDR3 Memory - 1333MHz, 6144MB (3 x 2048), CL7 for $139.97
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item...

but im just wondering if i can use this memory in my i5 build because its tri channel memory
so im just wondering if i can use this memory or will i have to go with a dual channel one or if you guys can help me find a memory that will go with my build http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/276945-31-1200-gaming...
