can anyone recommend an trio for under 500 dollars? or if you can can go lower than that would be great also

Thank you

This is what i have and i'm very happy with it.
You could probably find some ram with a bit better timing but thats up to you.

I haven't overclocked it yet because i only have stock cooling at the moment but i will when i buy a new heatsink. But its pretty nice already.

It's going to be a nice increase in performance--and don't worry--that motherboard will be great!

omg dude, my motherboard standoffs are just random underneath... I cant seem to find enough (stand offs are the little yellow screws under your motherboard right?)

could this honestly cause a problem? how do I know the correct areas to put them?

As long as you don't have too many underneath, it won't be a problem. Just make sure to be gentle with the motherboard when installing RAM and whatnot if you don't have any standoffs nearby.
