are all ddr3 ram suppose to be compatible with all motherboards that supports it? supposedly my crucial ballistix sport 2x4gb isn't compatible with an asus crosshair V motherboard (i checked the memory compatibility list per asus website). Or is it hit/miss with the memory? i also have a phenom 2 970 if that matters.

DDR3 is DDR3. Stick with big brands like Kingston and you will never, ever find yourself with memory compatibility problems. Asus motherboards should also have MemOK anyway so if your memory doesn't work, it will set it at the lowest settings so it will work.

Also, if you are going to buy that Asus Crosshair motherboard, don't because its incredibly stupid.

Because its an AMD motherboard. There is zero reason to buy an AMD processor unless you a very cheap processor with a 8 threads.

Thought I would ask since this thread helped so much on building my computer
what is a decent price for a 20-23 inch monitor that has 1080p and preferably has an hdmi port (if not, it would need to come with a dvi cable). Speakers would be nice since I don't have any external ones but not a deal breaker. graphics card is a hd radeon 6870. (was also wondering, does changing the fan speeds on the graphics card void the warranty? I was gonna enter the performance tab of CCC but it popped up with a warning about modifying settings could void your cards warranty so I got scared.)

Would prefer to get the monitor from amazon as I have to pay tax for newegg.
Ideally looking for one that is sub 140

Thanks again for any help

Adjusting fan speed does not void warranty.

Your DVD Burner is IDE. You want SATA: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106289

Depends how shit you want your monitor to be. $140 Acer rubbish will work but will look awful. You get what you pay for.

I'm not even certain you can find a model on regular pricing for less than $140 (shipped), that's 1920x1080, has speakers, and has HDMI input.

Before shipping, yes; otherwise, not unless used.

So my friend just setup her computer. She only had 2 SATA cables for her HDD SSD and DVD burner, so first she installed windows7 on her SSD and drivers, now she swaped out the cable from the DVD burner on to the HDD but it's not detected.

Tried changing ports and rebooting, not working. Any ideas?

FragKag, Amazon has a lot better deals then tigerdirect. I don't know why people don't order from them. They have all types of deals for every single product.

Like I said, speakers aren't required. And on sale would be better.
Hopefully that monitor you linked me goes on sale sometime at amazon as other wise I need to pay tax as well
How likely is it that I can find a decent 1920x1080 monitor with hdmi for 140 on sale?

Looking to buy a 3930k but I cant find any anywhere for sub $850 that are in stock. Anyone happen to know where I can find one for $600-$650?

I'm looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121534

Is this a good mobo for the 3930k? or is anything orther than the sabertooth garbage?

Depends on what your total system is going to be.

I am assuming we are using at least 3 Graphics cards (prob 7970's) yes?

We need to know so we recommend the right amount of PCI-e slots and such.
