First rebuild in a long time

[Ken g6]

It'll work. The memory is faster than needed, and the mobo has no USB 3.0. But I see you addressed the USB 3.0 issue; otherwise, it's not worth saving $6 on the RAM.

Thanks Ken. Yeah, USB 3.0 isn't important to me as long as I can get a card to add it later. I remember adding USB 2.0 via a card many moons ago. I can't think of anything I'd NEED USB 3 for. Mouse? Keyboard? Printer/scanner? All work fine. External storage would be helped, but that's not a priority for me.

Edited to add:
The motherboard I picked had more total USB connections, and had GFX-out if I wanted to use the on-chip gfx at some point (maybe it's better than my current card, maybe if a card died and I needed something short-term) then the one with USB 3.0. 3.0 will be big one day, but I just bought a printer/scanner, and I'm not in the market for any other new USB devices in the near future. Plus, I heard that the motherboards with 3.0 might not have it right, so to speak. As long as I can get 3.0 in a board later, I'm good. I have all those expansion slots!

I put my order in! The die is cast!

Thanks again to everyone for putting up with all my questions. Much appreciated. This is my first real upgrade in six years. It's a big deal to me.

Alea iacta est. I'm sure the system will be nulli secundus.
