It should all be in working order. He said he'd let me set it up just to make sure. I picked up all the parts today, I figured it was an awesome deal. I hope more people will agree. :D

My friend just built a new computer. He is willing to sell the remnants of his old build to me for $100. At that price I get the following items: i7-920 Asus rampage 2 Gene MB 8 gigs of ddr3 ram 2x GTX 260 cards(one is ASUS and the other is BFG tech). My current setup: EVGA 680i SLI e6600 @...

Okay I did some more searching and I found this http:// So I'm going to go with the GA-Z77X-UD3H with the i5 3570k. What ram would you recommend for this set up? G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) Timing 9-9-9-24 Cas Latency 9 Voltage 1.5V Would this ram be ideal for my proposed set up...

That answers one of my questions :P Sorry didn't see that initially. Do they both use this technology?

Thanks for the quick and informative responses. I'm looking at the specifications now but I'm not sure what to look for. Do they have digital or analog PWM controllers? So the GA-Z77X-UD3H is better for overclocking? What are the advantages of the Gigabyte Z77X-D3H vs the GA-Z77X-UD3H. I was...

To make a long story short, I decided to save up some money and go with an i5 3570k instead of the fx 6300/6350. So here I am nearly 1 month later with the cash. I know there are countless topics asking the same question but it's nice to get advice tailored to a specific situation. PSU...

It's hard to select a best answer with all my redundant questions lol

Alright sweet. Once again you're awesome. I've decided to go with the 6300 instead of the 6350 as people report better overclocking results with air alone. Although, this is enticing http://

On the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 website under ram I didn't see the gskill listed as being compatible.

So with the fx6350, the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3, and the ram you just recommended, I shouldn't run into any incompatibility issues?

Thanks for all your input. I'm going to listen to reason and get the fx6300 with the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3. Your logic is too impeccable to ignore. Now for the ram, is there anything a little cheaper?

Will I run into this problem with the ASRock 990FX Extreme3(using the 8350)? Or would the gigabyte be better? There is a $10 rebate for the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 and a $20 discount for the 8350. The offer ends today. I really appreciate your input.

http:// I'm thinking about long term. In the future won't more games be able to take advantage of all 8 cores? I would eventually overclock it, but it wouldn't be for a while. By then, perhaps I'll have a job and I'll be able to get a new mobo. I've never overclocked before and a part of me is...

I managed to come up with the extra cash; however, instead of going with the 6300, What if I went for the AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz ($20 discount on newegg), and waited to overclock. What would be the best board for this chip that also supports SLI? Keep in mind I wouldn't be overclocking.

It looks like I won't be able to afford the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 What about this board ASRock 970 EXTREME4? I know it's still 4+1, but it seems to be a lot better then the MSI.
