Yes, that's the same mobo. Any dual channel DDR3 RAM up to 1333mhz should work.

Edit: Just saw your edited post, would you like recommendations on that build, because there are a number of changes I would make, the first one being switching to a different socket?

Also, use this format please:

so what ur saying is instead of doing and intel build just go with amd also im going to overclock so thats why i chose intel btw what price would that build u told me to go with be

 

[jbakerlent]

That's correct. The AMD actually overclocks well. It comes to about $900. Some more info would help as well:

[labbu63]

ok im going to save ur configuration and the one i chose to show it to a friend(computer crazed) also my sister (since i aint paying) and let them give suggestions to but i might keep the psu i chose cause future upgrades so i wanna stay ready lol

 

[jbakerlent]

I strongly recommend against your PSU, if you plan on crossfiring in the future you should go with one of these instead, it's far better than that Azza:

[labbu63]

ok cause i know 600 watts wasnt going to be enough for me so thanks for ur help also i decided on antec ea750 and would u recommend me going with 6gb's

 

[jbakerlent]

With both your build and mine, go with 2x2gb.

Edit: Triple channel (3 sticks) is for Core i7 builds btw.

 

[labbu63]

oh ok thanx
