Solved Got the money- is it compatible?

[AC]

I know, I've made a few of these threads before, but I've always had stuff come up. Now, I have the money, just want to know if it's all compatible.

CPU- Intel Core i5-4430 Quad Core @3.0GHz

MoBo- Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H ATX LGA1150

RAM- A-Data XPG 2x4 DDR3-1600

Case- Corsair Carbide Series 300R Windowed ATX Mid Tower

Thanks in advance!

You will get better responses if you put the links in - e.g. from NewEgg.

Yup all that will work together fine.
I don't like Gigabyte boards since I had 3 bad experiences with their support.

The RAM is a no-name brand and they offer no specs other than DDR3 1600. With the CPU and a good board you can go to DDR3 2400 at some more money.

I was recommended the RAM by a friend. I was hesitant at first too, but he says it's nice. I'll believe him for now. I went with Gigabyte because I plan to Hackintosh this with Mavericks and W7, but would you recommend an Asus board?

Here are 5 at different price points.

The link doesn't work...do you have the model numbers?

 

[Layback Bear]

Works for me.

 

[AC]

Maybe it's because I'm on my phone. Apple POS.

Thanks.

 

[Britton30]

Yeah phones leave a lot to be desired.

 

[AC]

Alright I've got the parts. I double checked and made sure I have everything plugged in. I've tried using a screwdriver to turn the PC on on the power switch on the MoBo. No luck. Any obvious thing I'm missing?

 

[AC]

I just got a new PSU, still not working. Any help?

 

[Britton30]

Did you flip the switch on the PSU on? I've forgot that and spent hours cussing.

Yes, on both.

 

[Britton30]

Does anything power up, fans, lights?

Nothing at all.

 

[Britton30]

The main power connector look a little off in the pic, on the bottom like something is hanging there.
Make sure the EPS connector above the CPU is not a PCIe cable.

 

[AC]

It's in good and yes, it's the 4+4 pin connecter.

 

[Britton30]

Now I'm reaching, it is plugged in to a live plug?

 

[AC]

Yes, I've plugged in my phone to make sure.

Starting to think it's the MoBo, as I can get the PSU to come on.
