ah umm you just need to make sure the mobo supports w/e speed of ram you getting like i have the P6X58D which if i remeber right supports ram up to DDR3-2000 (although it might be a little higher) just look in the mobo manual on there support website and it will tell you supported ram speeds but i think the vengeance ram will be fine on ur mobo but i would still double check on the manual that it is supported

you do not want to mess around with corsair in the returns department i had 6gbs of Dominator GT DDr3-2000 ($400) and it was fualty and i returned but it took 5mths to hear back and by then they did not manufacture the specific stick anymore so i had to downgrade to DDr3-1866 (200$) but fortunatly they did refund all the money lol

I think it does support it...Is it the DDR3 that needs to match the motherboard?

a few of the item i tried ordering, but they are out of stock. I can't seem to be able to find them, or there a multiple copies of it. I'm afraid I'm going to buy the wrong one.

Right now I'm currently looking for the:
Motherboard.
CPU.

i5-2500k is still being sold, but its replacement model right now is i5-3570k. Things have changed since then.

As for the motherboard, check out Z77 boards. Some of the options:

- BIOSTAR TZ77XE3 ATX Motherboard @ $110
- MSI Z77MA-G45 Micro ATX Motherboard @ $120
- GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-D3H ATX Motherboard @ $135
- ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX Motherboard @ $135


(From my PC build guide)

Use pcpartpicker.com, might help with finding deals on other parts you may have already found.

So does that mean that the CPU before is unavailable?
I'm not sure which one is correct...The i5-2500k or the i5-3570k...
Or I mean is the 3570k better than the 2500k?

Would this work with the rest of the build?

And this would work with the build as well?

i5-2500k is available. Its direct successor is i5-3570k. Yes, the 3570k is slightly better than the 2500k, but worse heat generation when overclocked.

i5-2500k will still work.

Note I said Extreme4, not Extreme4-M. Don't bother with the -M version.

Okay so I'm gonna order the i5-2500k link that I posted, but what about extreme4? The only one i could find was the -M version.
