Rhah's new gaming rig. That's right, I'll be back with you guys soon!

I have it put together...but the motherboard's LEDs are telling me that only the RAM as a problem with it. Do you think that it is maybe incompatible? I have read through the book for the motherboard and I have everything else running as it should. This thing is QUIET when it starts up, but I'm not getting any output to my monitor...I'm really thinking that it is the RAM.

EDIT:
Disregard that. We think that it was just not seated properly...but it is now functioning fine

Good! Make sure to run memtest first for at LEAST 4 hours (or however long it takes to run one FULL test).
You gotta do all the testing I mentioned first, because if there's anything wrong, you need to send the bad parts back to Newegg PRONTO. Say you get a bad stick of ram, you have to send it back to newegg, then they send you another bad stick (it's rare to get 1, let alone 2 bad sticks, but still... it happens); you need enough time to return all the parts you need to return and STILL test it all BEFORE the newegg 30 day coverage.

Make sure to set your ram manually in BIOS. Speed and voltage. It's important!

Well, I have everything up and running perfectly fine. I can now play Minecraft on the highest settings with 170+ fps 
But right now, I'm transferring iTunes stuff to this computer and I'm going to work on getting some games (already have Steam) on here sometime later. I have cross country every day after school until the end of October, so I may not be home until sometime around six. May God have mercy on my feet and legs...   
BTW, I still have Borderlands and I bought all of the addons for it when it was on sale, so I am up for playing that at just about any time unless I'm not already playing Minecraft or anything else =P
