Posted September 27, 2013 @ThatSweetGamer I would avoid that board if you can, known VRM issues. You will be running in single channel with one ram stick, get a dual channel kit of 2x4 at 1333 if necessary, if you plan on adding another stick soon(er rather than later) then ignore this. If your primary drive is HDD, go with a Barracuda, similar price slightly better performance. Everything else checks out. Error: 410 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 27, 2013 I wouldn't go with a single 8gb dim. You'd get better performance with 2x4gb i want to die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather stick with 1600 rather than 1333 and I guess I'll go with barracuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just linked you to some, there are plenty under the $40 you are paying for the case you listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
