Dont listen to him. You have to buy ddr4 ram. Thats is not optional.

Didn't look at specs board only supports DDR 4 2133

his main board exclusivly supports ddr4. There are some main boards that support both but thats just a hand full.

EDIT: @bakalolo you better use https://pcpartpicker.com/ to build your computer. This website rules out the most common compatibility mistakes. You can later order via amazon.

I fixed it. Also here's the benchmarks for the new Intel integrated gpu.

Although it's a 6700K it's the same GPU. As you can see it does OK for an integrated GPU.

oh really so the ddr3 ram wont even work with that board? thanks for letting me know

also im using intel iris HD5100 to game right now and it does just fine so im guessing the onboard gpu from i5 6400 would be a decent upgrade.

For what it's worth you could do a much better build with a gpu for the same money or close to it. What's your budget?

its $400 right now and i would really like to get a decent cpu for running virtual machines and possibly resource intensive calculations

OK give me an hour and I'll put one together. You just want Amazon?

yea, only place with free shipping where i'm from

sorry.. $80 over budget.. but also better IMO; and themed.. black/red ..
