Hi I'm currently shopping around for new ram. My MB can handle up to DDR3 2000. It isn't really stable. I prefer 1600mhz.

Mobo: m4a87td evo

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition Deneb 3.5GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Desktop Processor HDZ970FBGMBOX
***I do like overclocking.....

PSU: 750w

Video: Palit NE5X460SF1102 GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Sonic 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

OS: Windows 7 64-bit

Hard Drive: a really old one, plan on upgrading - ATA133 120GB.

Ram: thats what I need help with. I was looking at model: F3-12800CL7T-6GBPI . Any suggestions!

-Thanks.

Oh, sorry misunderstood. Well at least now you know how to.

The PI kit will work fine. It is a very good overclocking kit.
