I am getting ready to go buy this cpu and motherboard. Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz Socket LGA 1155 and Z87-G41 PC Mate Socket LGA 1150 ATX
I have a stick of Ballistix Elite 8GB DDR3-1866. Can I use this memory?
Yes you can, but the RAM might not run at 1866MHz without manually clocking it back up.
Thank you so much. I thought that was the case but had to check. off to Microcenter we go!!!
WAIT! That motherboard is not the correct socket for that processor! http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z77ag41 that is the correct model board to fit your processor.
