Hi fellas, im wanting to build a PC for gaming and im not sure which way to go. Im a bit new at choosing my components and was wondering what you guys thought. The Asus Striker 790i or the EVGA 790i? Or any other mobo ideas?

Ive currently ordered a Q9450 CPU.

Once ive chosen the motherboard another problem im going to have is the DDR3 ram. I havent got a clue which goes best with what. Any help would be appreciated!

Heard a lot more complains on the striker then on the EVGA. So...

Yeah I would get the EVGA one.

As for memory it supports up to 8 GB at these speeds.

DDR3 2000 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148187
DDR3 1800 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...10170147 1052430386&name=DDR3 1800 (PC3 14400)
DDR3 1333 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...10170147 1052429248&name=DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600)

DDR3 2000 being the fastest

The links bring you to a page sorted to the different memory that board supports at those speeds.
