No one seems to have seen this, but the memory you linked is DDR3.... You need DDR4 with that motherboard.

I would have to second this.

Not sure when you will be pulling the trigger but I would sell my Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100I  for half that price as soon as I take it out of my current pc as I am going to full water loop on new build - by the way they work great - cool as a cucumber - also sell my kraken and h75 for water cooling a graphics card which works great also - thats available right now

 

Thanks Richard.  I think it will be a few months so you are probably better off selling locally.

Good catch, thanks!  I actually had DDR4 the first time around but lost my "wish list" and rushed when I started over.

What CPU do you have now?

 

i2500K OC at 4.7

No problem Mark may be a few months before I am able to sell it - hopefully not that long - just ordered the final pieces for my build - tell yah you cant go wrong with the corsair water cooling works great for the money - suspect my new rig will not be much better for a ton more money

What are you doing for a monitor?  I was looking at the Phillips 40" 4K but not sure.

Funny you ask - just saw the vizio and it was an awesome image - not sure how it will do in gaming but looking at these two models - great prices on both at least here in US - both should be fine for gaming from what I have read so far

 

My current monitor is a benq 3200 cad monitor

Wow those are half the price of the Phillips....maybe because it is a monitor rather than TV ?

Thanks for saving me some bucks!  The only problem is coming up with a story to tell my wife as to why I have such a big TV on my FS computer but we still have an old 51" TV in the living room and she wants to upgrade to a 60".   Just another problem I will have to solve by throwing money at it.

Been looking more into this and leaning towards this - its more geared towards gaming - quick delivery - overclock forums raving about it - so this may be what I will get - few things to think about has Korean plug - you have to buy a plug adapter for your country and dont go with the 39" version as it has a glass screen and that would drive you crazy - this has a matte non glare screen - personally I dont have the room for anything bigger than 40" to 43" - nor do I want to sit a mile away from the screen - oh yuo have to buy a certified cable for it - hdmi - dp - to get 60hz 4k not sure yet have to research but just a heads up
