Yes to all 3. I have that mobo, it's perfectly fine. I got it for 28 as well. the only choice might be 4570 vs 4670. 199 for the 4670 is the cheapest ive seen it on newegg, however, my local microcenter had 4570's for 159 + tax. I would suggest checking your local microcetner website to see what pickup deals they have on processors. If you have money to spare, 4670 is obviously better, if your budget is tight then the step done to 160+ tax might be something to consider. Ram and mobo you won't find cheaper. Edit - actually I think newegg has some 2133 gskill 2x4gb for ~54.... but anything around 55-60 for 2x4gb is what you're gonna end up paying. edit 2 - this is the link... but It appears they have sold out. | ||

I am getting this power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151108&Tpk=SeaSonic M12II 850W 80+ But my main thing right now is between 2 video cards. I am debating on the gtx 780 or the 780 TI. So the gtx 780 you can get for 500$ give or take some The TI is 700$. I want to know is the extra 200$ worth it or do you think I should just go with the 780? I will say I don't do Radeon so please don't send me a link to them. Everytime I have gotten them I regret it and hate how they do drivers. Here are my pc specs: gtx 760 8 gigs DDR3 ram intel i5 2500k 24 inch asus VG248QE Thanks in advance! | ||

Were you going for some normal, locked CPU? I think you can't make use of more than 1600MHz RAM in that case (though I'm not 100% sure about this). | ||

edit: And I'm aware of that but prices are so close with the exception of the Team brand. But I guess brands don't really matter for RAM? | ||

A lot of the memory kits are sold with long warranty no matter what chips were used, so it won't matter to you if some might be better or not. | ||

The problem with higher heat sinks is if you got somethibg like a micro atx or mitx motherboard the higher heatsinks interfere with some aftermarket cpu heatsink/fans where are the heatsinks on the ram? and how do i know if a certain motherboard has higher heatsinks? | ||

Low profile heatspreaders: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231665 Typical heatspreaders: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231654 Tall heatspreaders: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345 | ||

The only reason I bring up motherboards in regards to RAM heatsink, has to do with how cramped some of the motherboard are. Often having the RAM modules right next to the CPU, which may make it impossible to put on some of the really big cpu fan/heatsinks. | ||

On a single monitor the 780 should already be more than enough, 780 Ti is more for multimonitor set ups really. $200 is also more than enough for a nice SSD, which is always nice to have if you don't. | ||
