Help picking ram for mobo

[bobkelso]

I'm looking to do a new build soon mobo will be asus crosshair v 990fx and I came across this ram. Cpu will be a 8350.

Is it compatible? pls help

If you haven't ordered the CPU yet I'd think twice and steer towards low end i5...

Anyway, should be fine since for example Asus page says "4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 2133(O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz ECC, Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory", though I see no point in investing to RAM.

The only thing I have ordered so far is the cpu cooler H100, and I will only be using the pc for gaming. Which is why I thought amd would be better and cheaper. And the mobo's don't cost a fortune and have all the features I feel I need.
The gpu I would get is an amd 290 when they have better coolers.

I guess I could have explained a bit better as to what and why I am getting this pc thx for the response.

Mobo matters little with a non-k cpu, unless you specifically need the features higher end motherboards have. Which is rare.

I don't know your budget, though, so I am merely guessing.

Yeh sorry for the confusion this is what I have been looking at having got the H100

So about £800.

I'm as uncertain as you are, heh.

Anyway, I reckon this would make mincemeat of your build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/21Mrp
