I could use some advice

[axion242]

I am building a new computer since the one i have is on its way out. I had all the components together and a buddy was looking at it and said the ram was not compatible. I am not really sure, it has been almost 10 years since i last built one so who knows. I listed the specs if anyone can tell me if the ram really is incompatible and if it is suggestions for replacement ram or any other issues i need to fix would be greatly appreciated! i listed the parts i have below.

Thats it, anything not going to work that i overlooked? Any suggestions to finalize this build i would really appreciate!

the ram is good, its certainly a high quality build. the power supply is overkill for even two gtx 570's (yours is out of stock btw). 850w is what you want. i would also say youd be fine with an extreme4 (frankly even an extreme3)

do you plan on adding a second gtx 570?

I feel all confused then like said because my buddy was saying DDR3 1600 is actually incompatible, and i should go with a lower ddr3 1333 ram instead. From what i was told is the i5 2500k integrated memory only supports up to and including ddr3 1333 so it will actually under clock the ddr3 1600 down to ddr3 1333. As for the power supply i got more for the fact i might add another optical drive and ssd later on. As for the 570 yes i know its out of stock and i will get a second.

still overkill, get 850w. that ram will work great, and your mobo should usually detect the appropriate speed and timings. worse comes to worse, you have to go into your bios and set the ram to 1600mhz yourself (not hard).

you can see the editors use that ram with an i7-2600k, which uses the same chipset and has the same memory requirements:

you could also look at the numerous reviews of people successfully using that ram with sandy bridge. 1600mhz ram is almost universally recommended on this site with the i5-2500k. i use 1600mhz ram with my i5-2500k.
convinced?
