Your board's memory standard is DDR3 and your ram choice is DDR2. They are not compatible with each other.

I would recommend staying with the DDR2 standard and switching your board to
asus p5q e
or
gigabyte ga-ep45-ud3p

@Antonin, It is a good setup...but the intel CPU dont take advantage of DDR3 speeds...So instead go with a good DDR2 mobo like the Gigabyte P45 and DDR2 RAM...

And as for the Powersupply, get high quality ones like the Corsair, Antec EA, Seasonic, Silverstone, PCP&S...

But the ASUS P5QC is 20€ cheaper.
Is it worth paying 20€ more for the ASUS P5Q-E?

Hey if the P5QC supports even DDR2 RAM, then stick wiht it and buy DDR2 instead of DDR3 RAM,...

Else check out these boards...

ASUS P5Q SE PLUS
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R
