Thanks, Dave.

yes, it is compatible that mobo support 2000mhz.

 

[we1shcake]

yes but may i ask why are you buying such an old motherboard

 

[ac1d 53rp3n7]

Thanks, well it seems a great motherboard but on budget, not too behind in technology. If you have a similar priced alternative then I'd be greatfull.

 

[we1shcake]

how much are you looking at spending roughly for cpu and mobo, that one is about 3/4 years out of date

 

[ac1d 53rp3n7]

No more than £400.

 

[we1shcake]

have you looked at the 2500k its on a much newer socket is faster and uses less power

this processor ^^^^^^^

 

[ac1d 53rp3n7]

Thanks, I'm deciding.

 

[we1shcake]

thos will be about 30% faster than what will fit in the other mobo

 

[ac1d 53rp3n7]

Hmmm, I think I will get them, and this ram will fit in the board? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004O69XAY/ref=asc_df_B004O69XAY5535035?smid=A17AS5ETPMZ9A1&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B004O69XAY

 

[pro-gamer]

indeed! Yes it should fit in your mobo.

 

[we1shcake]

yes although id reccomend you get 8gb http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Memory/DDR3/Dual+Channel+1600MHz/8GB+Exceleram+Rippler+Sandybridge-Series+%282x4GB%29+DDR3+PC3-12800C9+1600MHz+-+ERS303A+?productId=47170

theres not much of a price difference at the moment

 

[ac1d 53rp3n7]

Will do, I can't thank you enough for all this.
But thank you anyway.

 

[we1shcake]

your welcome

 

[ac1d 53rp3n7]

Dammit that shop has discontinued the ram, can you find me another please?

 

[ac1d 53rp3n7]

I was thinking this: http://www.ebuyer.com/248846-corsair-vengeance-8gb-2x4gb-ddr3-1600mhz-cl9-1-5v-non-ecc-unbuffered-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9

 

[we1shcake]

thats good but this stuff is a bit cheaper and has lower heatspreders so itll fit under more coolers if you decide to go down that route in future

[ac1d 53rp3n7]

Again, thank you.
