Thank you for taking the time to look over this, sorry i'm not smart enough to know this myself.
 
Solution
You can't put an AMD processor in that Intel motherboard. Also, you need a more powerful PSU, rated 600W/30A or more.

Replace the CPU with an i5-3570k and the PSU and you've got yourself a great gaming box.

About the PSU: look for a Corsair 600W or 650W, for example.


It's this one http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-PC3-12800-1600mHz-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B/dp/B004QBUL1C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390959514&sr=8-1&keywords=Corsair+Vengeance+Blue+8+GB+2X4+GB+1600mHz+Dual+Channel+Memory+Kit . It looks like it comes with 2, i thought it was just 1
