Quick Motherboard and Ram Question

[jcg512]

Hi guys, just finishing get my last few parts for my first build and I just have a quick question. It would seem that the board I was originally grabbing got discontinued, but the one I found is a similar model. Just curious if the same RAM will be compatible.

What's your budget? I'd never go H61 on a desktop build as your future expansion options will be incredibly limited. The RAM is fine.

Well, my budget has run pretty dry haha. I have a seagate m12 II power supply 620w, i3 2100, 6850, WD Black 32mb cache 6gb/s HD, and metal boned k7 case. Just need my OS, Ram, and motherboard. Unless you have a better suggestion in that price range I'm going to have to go with it for the time being. I'm looking to play D3 and Tribes Ascend mainly. D3's launch is quickly approaching and I still need to order my monitor as well.

This is probably the best sub-$90 motherboard you can get right now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121506

And then for RAM get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226095

Yeah, unfortunately that's to much for me right now. If I end up upgrading my processor I guess I'll have to up my motherboard to. I really don't plan on it for a bit since the i3 should be enough for my needs for a while. Thanks for the suggestion though.
