Everything is compatible, except for the memory which you choose. Although it is accepted by your motherboard, purchasing triple channel memory for a motherboard that supports dual channel at most, is not useful. Better would be to purchase two dual channel kits instead, instead of one triple channel kit of which one RAM module would not work in triple channel mode, as the motherboard does not support triple channel. Another thing regarding the RAM, make sure that you purchase a 64-bit operating system, as a 32-bit operating system cannot allocate more than 4GB of RAM.

If your going to game I would go with windows 7 or xp... make sure you don't use vista

Answer 5

Hell yes, they are....

Imho, that's one hellva gaming system.. But a certain improvemnt, my suggestion is you go with the ATI Radeon 5870.. Same price and you get DirectX 11 suppprt.. And it has bested any and every card available in the market even the GTX 285 ...
