any problems?????

You're going to want dual channel RAM, no AMD motherboards support triple channel DDR3.

If you buy triple channel RAM, an AMD motherboard will only run it in single channel mode.

scottahuch

so i should by a pair of sticks? instead of 3???

yea im going for win7 64bit

i think im going for the AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor Mode

hey thanks for the input

i think im going with a quad core then, but does the decrease in speed from 3.2 to 2.6 affect gaming?

wouldnt the integrated videocard in the mobo boggle down the system?

i think im going with 6gigs or higher in RAM

also i dont want an nvidia card i heard they are more expensive and dont offer better quality than ATI

im trying to play games in high settings for next year

again im new at this so thank you for your input : )

so i have never built a PC before.... does this sound good?
