Yes, what are you wanting to do with this system?

 

[dxnarutoboi]

Gaming and general use

 

[tiny voices]

You have no graphics card listed. Which one do you plan to get?

 

[dxnarutoboi]

Im going to reuse my GTX560ti

 

[tiny voices]

The 8150 is kind of crap. Get an 8320 for sure.

 

[dxnarutoboi]

Okay will do! So to be clear all these parts are compatible right?

 

[tiny voices]

Yes sir! Make sure to get low profile RAM in case you ever want to put an aftermarket CPU cooler in there.

 

[dxnarutoboi]

Ok thanks

 

[plankingdom]

Yep, All the parts are compatible.

 

[dxnarutoboi]

Yes sir! Make sure to get low profile RAM in case you ever want to put an aftermarket CPU cooler in there.

I have another question it says on new egg the memory standard: DDR3 2100(OC) / 1866(OC) / 1800(OC) / 1600(OC) / 1333 / 1066 / 800

What does OC mean?

 

[tiny voices]

it means overclock. The motherboard can support all those RAM speeds

 

[dxnarutoboi]

it means overclock. The motherboard can support all those RAM speeds

So can i use this stick
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866

Sorry for sounding like a noob.

Those will work fine. Just get 1600mhz though. No reason to spend extra money for no gain.

 

[dxnarutoboi]

Those will work fine. Just get 1600mhz though. No reason to spend extra money for no gain.

Any reccommendations then

 

[tiny voices]

Any 2x4gb 1600mhz low profile or no cooler RAM.

 

[dxnarutoboi]

Everything looks good except your ssd. Get a Samsung 840 pro or a Crucial m4.
