Motherboard is incompatible with DDR4 RAM. It only takes DDR3 and DDR3L RAM.

 

Avoid the Kingston V300 series (I'm assuming that's what it is), the A-Data SP550 is a better choice.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

what if i stick with the mobo the dude from the computer shop said and switch my ram to ddr3?

he actually forgot to mark the mobo and ram we decided on in the list so i just did the math to match the budget we were set on with the prices of the mobo and ram. i think i got the ram wrong
