First Time Builder Gaming PC! Need advice!

[Primalbeast]

Ok this is my first time building a full gaming system, and I feel like a stooge for having to ask this question. I just want to make sure that I d have to go through trying to return memory modules. I have the AMD 3FX 8150 Black with a Gigabyte GA990-UAX-U7 Board. My Question relates to RAM. I have looked on every manufacturers web page for compatible RAM and none list very much. The board takes Dual Channel DDR3 (2000 oc) 1866, 1600. Now can I use any RAM that meets the spec or do I have to use only the modules they list as compatiable with the board?

The modules they list as compatible are just the ones they have tested. 99% of the time, anything with the correct specs should be fine. 1600Mhz is recommended since it doesn't have much of a price premium and is still fast.

And I use myself a G.Skill 1600 MHz CL7 on my AM3 setup. It's not listed on the QVL.

I ave the money to do this in one shot right now, and i wont have the chance again for a longe time. I am disabled and I havebeenworking on putting this togeher fo 1 1/2 years and I am finally a the home stretch. I want the best memory that I can put i it, so dont have to worry about it again unless I am gonna build a super computer.

I would get these perhaps. Yes you could go a bit cheaper and get the 1600 ram but this is the best you can get without overclocking.

Thatswht I was intending to get but with the way they list the specs you kind of have to fumble around it. I know that there is way too many mobo, cpu, ram combos to test them all. I just wasn't sure how ridgid it became. I have done other builds, upgrades, but never using this much money. I have cstom painted everything to mtch my Phantom FT red and white. 4 monitors, monitor stand, 5.1 speaker system and the final them is the Umbrella Corp. I was going to go with the Clone Wars but I am digging the Umbrella Theme.

Have you already purchased the CPU?

 

[Primalbeast]

Yes I have Why?

 

[ilysaml]

The new FX 8350 will be unleashed after few days, it's better than the current Bulldozer.

 

[Primalbeast]

Do you know when because I can still bring it back I havent opened it and its within 30 days

 

[ilysaml]

Rumors and reports reported October 21, it's based on Piledriver architecture which should improve performance by 15% over the current Bulldozer.

sweet I am on it. 8150 goes back tomorrow and I will wait for the new one.
