It'll be fine

why do you hate RAM?
you forgot it again

 

[Hussein19891]

He might just plan on using some ram he already has lying around. But the problem with that, is that Core i7 chips use DDR3 ram. So unless he has DDR3 ram lying around, then he should be concerned.

**** i keep forgetting.... omg. I'll go get it now. NOW.

EDIT: added ram.

 

[wafflehammer]

uhmmm..it's dual channel

TRY AGAIN :] you'll want to pick up a 6gb 3gbx2 kit so you can run it in tri-channel (which you use on x58/corei7 boards)

 

[SuxoR]

Why does everyone get the G9 ><

 

[philbar71]

^ because it's a sweet mouse. and you dont NEED tri channel ram 3 sticks of dual channel will work

 

[scepstein]

Changed RAM to 6 gb (3x2gb). figured for an extra £47 it's worth it. I'm £31.04 under budget lol.

 

[philbar71]

with that 37 bones you could get some moar ram. like another 1gb stick and your build would be perfect.
