My "MSI MSI Gaming Z170A GAMING M5 LGA 1151 Intel Z170" Gaming motherboard literally won't fit my G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin "DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel Z170 Platform Desktop Memory" RAM (the notch is just fine but I literally can't "slide/push" the sticks into the appropriate slots).... Help plz? Am i doing somthing wrong?

thank you very much, and ill look into getting a better power supply

Currently i'm running off a lower end gaming laptop, but recently I've been getting into 3D fx, modeling, editing etc. -- on top of wanting to play more intensive 3D games -- so I have an upgrade in mind (too bad the Canadian dollar is so low lol). My budget is ~$2500 Canadian (with shipping/tax), and I more or less have my parts picked out (although i'd be happy to hear recommendations for better products within similar price ranges) But more importantly because i'm a first time builder, it would be really, really nice if someone more experienced could quickly check over my build and make sure that all selected parts are compatible (I've tried to make sure everything works together but considering how much money is being invested in this comp I really want to be 100% sure.

Hello forum peoples, so this is kind of off topic of computer hardware specifically, however considering how many DIY'ers browse these forums I was wondering if there was anybody who could come to my rescue. I'm attaching some Drivers (and amps) to a bicycle helmet for a project in my high school engineering class, and am in need of some ball- socket (or some other joints which can tilt roughly 40* and rotate at least 90*) to attach the drivers and their box to my helmet. Couldn't find any small or inexpensive socket joints that weren't meant for carrying heavy loads (like cars, lol)... Was wondering if anybody has some links for me (for small socket joints, meant for smaller loads)? Would be much, much appreciated. Thanks
