Hello to who ever may read this

Although my graphics card is slightly OC , i don't not intent to OC anything else.

Welcome to ROG TankRaiderRevenge.

That's a pretty solid system plan. You shouldn't have any bottle-necking issues.

Just curious, what do you plan on using this PC for?

Mainly for gaming currently , but i'm always happy to expand what i can use it for =D

Well for gaming this rig will work just fine. If you ever do any video encoding or 3D design you may want to add some RAM but otherwise you should be fine.

Another addition would be a 1 TB HDD, or larger depending on what size of a game library you plan to have. Personally I'm a pretty big fan of the Seagate Barracuda series but Western Digital makes great drives as well.

will this ram:- work ?
http://www.ebuyer.com/266722-kingsto...600c9d3p1k2-8g (posted above before) as i was reading on the kingston website that it is compatible for the 2 and 3rd generation icore's but doesnt state the 4th gen on this link
http://www.kingston.com/en/memory/hyperx/pnp
i mean i don't mind swapping to a different Kingston Ram but i think its volts go up to 1.65 ,which will mean i will have to increase the power input i think or it will drop to 1333 from 1600 and will need to be OC as the power output of the on the board is 1.5 volts i think.
other ram:-

Your motherboard will set the voltages automatically so you won't have to worry about that. Also that RAM should be perfectly compatibly with 4th gen intel processors.

the case comes with 3 fans do you think i will need to get more ? Also by the motherboard setting voltage automatically if it runs at 1.65 will it drop the ram speed and the voltage unless i overclock if the motherboard is only designed to hit 1.5 volts . so it can run higher ? and thanks for the feedback so far proudpiper =D

if your thinking of RAM, go in and set XMP profile in bios and save it.

The motherboard is not designed for only 1.5 the motherboard is designed to run within the available range of voltages found in the bios. So technically you could go way past 1.75 volts if you wanted with little stress to the motherboard.

However do what KKN has suggested set XMP profile for your memory and leave it at that.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

its a pnp memory will it still have a XMP profile.. might be a stupid question... but ive seen XMP next to other memory's , so i'm unsure it it will have a XMP Profile. and thanks for the replies guys :). also i presume i set this in the bio's
