I have recently built a gaming computer and when I went to the system panel on Windows 7, it says I only had 2.99 GBs of usable RAM when I installed 8 GBs. Help please! ( my memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104277 )
And which mobo should i get gigabyte? ga-970a-d3( http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-970A-D3-AM3-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B0056G10WK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1359343342&sr=8-2&keywords=ga+970a+d3 ) or asus m5a97( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131872 ).
@stantheman123 yeah Im going to overclock a lot. I need a good aftermarket fan/heatsink though. Anybody got recommendations? And @kajunchicken I would have liked to get the 1090t too but it went out of stock and isnt going to be restocked in a while :/
Currently, I'm building a PC and I can get a Phenom II X6 1090T for 112 or a FX 6300 for 140.
I'm mainly going to be surfing the web and playing games like far cry 3 and black ops 2. What do you guys suggest?
