I purchased my components and got my computer all hooked up. However, now when I'm performing the POST I'm getting the "memory not detected" error from the motherboard. Here is the build I used: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NOBj I checked the QVL from Asus and saw that some of my components were...

Thank you! Just making sure before I scoop up deals and find out they're not the components I was really looking for.

I'm trying to scoop up some of the Black Friday deals on Newegg, and I just want to make sure that these parts are compatible. GFX: EVGA 012-P3-2078-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 448 Cores (Fermi) Classified Ultra 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card...

Thanks Bolivious, I think I'm going to go with your suggestions on both the case and the motherboard for this build. I don't know much about overclocking so I'm probably going to put off any tests with that until my next computer build after I've had some time to read up on it. Thanks to...

Picking between these two you would recommend the Crucial M4? I'm leaning more towards the OCZ here, but that's simply because of price and the ability to have it shipped from NCIX. OCZ Vertex 4 VTX4-25SAT3-64G 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)...

Thoughts on using this for the SSD then? OCZ Agility 3 AGT3-25SAT3-60G 2.5" 60GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227725&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

After going over both of your suggestions I've made the following changes: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jSav A bit over my planned budget, but I'm happy with how it's looking. Any other recommendations?

I'm trying to finalize my build by Friday so that I can purchase it before the weekend. I would like to be able to play in 1920x1080 resolution, and am looking to be able to do live streaming of gameplay in League of Legends and World of Warcraft. Staying as close to $1000 as possible with the...

I do have an external 1TB hard drive that I use when I don't really need the files on my built-in hard drive. Is that a reasonable thing to do for storage with the setup I am suggesting? Also, will it be possible to upgrade my system in a couple years easily or will all the components likely...

Thank you so much guys for the input. I am interested in overclocking the motherboard so I would like to go with one that is suitable for it. After going over your responses I figured I'd be able to go with the Asrock Extrem4. Here is the build I came up with using your suggestions and changing...

I'm working on building a gaming system, and I'm fairly new to the process. I've been researching for a couple days now on which parts I should get, and would like advice on my current build. Getting the price point closer to $1000 USD would be nice. I'd like to not compromise on the monitor...
