Oh cool one of my buddies actually told me bout it but I ignored him guess he was right after all!!!

I will take triple channel but the RAM I selected (12GB DDR3)is also triple channel so that means all parts are compatible now right?
Got a tip for us?

I'll tell you this much... that board is bandwidth starved. Also, triple channel is supported only on X58 boards. The board you gave me (ASUS P8P67 PRO) is a dual channel only board. This means only 4 GB(4x1GB; 2x2GB), 8 GB(4x2GB; 2x4GB) and 16GB (4x4GB) memory combinations work. Unless you go with 12GB(2x4GB + 2x2GB)
Key: X GB (Z x T GB)
-- Where:
---- X = total amount of RAM
---- Z = RAM slots used
---- T = RAM module capacity
Bare in mind that motherboard as only 4 modules.
Aghhhhhhhh my first build and so many things to consider Im just gonna ask you what mother board is compatible with the 12 GB RAM.Also do philips screwdrivers need to be purchased or do they come free with the case?
Like I said, depends on the board. Screws? They must come with the case, unless you use a cardboard box as a case, in which case you'll need tape (duct or office). Seriously, what you really need to look for when buying cases is motherboard risers. If it doesn't have, don't buy it.
This as well. Go over the falcon guide. Use my thread as a guide as well. Look over NewEgg for motherboards and CPUs that match. Look at the details of which part. Same for RAM.
Building a computer is like putting a Lego robot/train/house/etc together. Just follow the manual and look that piece fits.
No offense taken but this is my first build and I just really thought asking here I will get better advice since people can help me according to the specs that I give.
Just a quick question but for RAM is it 4gig per every core or does it rely solely on the amount of RAM modules?
Like for example the 13 inch 2011 macbook pros are daul core so each core supports 4GB of RAM which is why it only supports 8 GB of ram while you can get 16 gig of ram in 15 inch MBP since it has 4 cores so is this true

There's no such thing as a RAM per core limit. Just check if you have dual (2 or 4 sticks of RAM) or triple channel (3 or 6 sticks of RAM). What mobo/RAM are you getting?
Ok well I'm assuming that's triple channel, so just make sure your mobo supports triple channel RAM.
yeah it is but the problem I had was before,was that the mobo and cpu weren't compatible but when the mobo was compatible ram was not compatible looks like research is required!!!
And there won't be. All LGA 1155 motherboard are dual channel exclusively. In fact, the next socket LGA 2011, will be Quadruple channel only. Triple channel is being phased out.
well thats alright i guess because I might buy a 120GB solid-state so it won't have much effect any way right?
Effect on what? You wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between dual and triple channel anyway, especially considering the rest of your specs. The SSD is going to make things noticeably faster though
test this was what I was asking if I would see any difference.btw did you see france vs allblacks
