ddr3 1600 & 2000

I was not watching close and ordered DDR3 1600 ram and my MoBo specs note DDR3 2000(OC)/1866.

I guess this ram won't work. What do you all think I should get? I am new to building computers so cut me some slack.

 

1600mhz ram will work absolutly fine ☺

Nothing to worry about.

I have been gaming on the Play Station for years. I watch the Tek videos on you tube and have been convinced to dive into PC gaming. The vid on the 650.00 gaming computer made me get off my ass. I spent closer to 1200.00, I wanted to get a good mid gaming PC.

Thanks

 

if you spent $1200 you should have a pretty damn high end setup... what'd you spend it on?

1600mHz will run fine, but I bet you could easily hit 1866mHz just because why not overclock? Memory OCing is really fun, to me at least, but timing tightening is the best.

I am all in at $1213.18.  I wish I would have had a bit more money for the GPU, but I want a solid base to build on.

Did I go wrong on anything?

 

That is what I have found out about the RAM I got, it can do 1866 OC with no problems (i hope).

I am new to building PC's so I will have to get help getting the ram to run faster.

 

My gigabyte mobo defaulted to 1333, I had to set it to 1600. It runs great. Thanks
