Looks like your motherboard is an MSI? Why did you pick suck a mid-quality board. I mean sure, MSI is better then some out there, but not as good as Gigabyte, ASUS or ASRock, like all those suggested in this thread.
at the time of ordering it was the one that was in my price range that was in stock in the next few months it will be upgraded to a better board and at that time ial be adding 8gb more of ram
