This is what I ended up ordering:
  • 1 x EVGA P67 FTW 160-SB-E679-KR LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
  • 1 x Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - OEM
  • 1 x Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I72600K
  • 1 x Corsair Force Series GT CSSD-F120GBGT-BK 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
  • 1 x CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9.

I noticed a discrepancy on the mothersboards' ram standard. The specs say DDR3 2133+. The ram I ordered is DDR3 1600. Will this be a problem? I was under the impression that you could use slower ram. Can some one please clarify this for me? I still have time to alter the order.


Thank you for your time and knowledge.
