Made sure the ram is the same socket type as the motherboard? Asking mainly because I see people forget at work often.

I'm more of an intel guy so a lot of this AMD stuff is foreign to me :P

Yeah all I see is random stuff on all that seems to me that Intel does a better job as naming their items so you know what to look for. :D

How much are you spending? I built an intel machine and it is running beautifully - have not been able to find anything that it can't handle yet...

intel is a good brand, but i dont think it is cost efficient for gamers

gamer pcs are meant to be replaced every 3 years
intel cores are meant to run clean for 11 years
you're paying for the extra years you dont need

Depending on what you are getting you do not need to upgrade that often. My computer aside from ram has been the same for years and other then the graphics card I won't need to upgrade it any time soon. I think Intel is great and as long as you buy the things that are future proof you should be good.
