    Sadly my motherboard is fried. So I'm going to be looking to buy a replacement today, not looking for something ridiculously expensive. Here is what I'm looking at, keeping in mind that I am pretty much stuck using this store to buy it from. I'm going to list my other parts in case I'm making the wrong decision for the motherboard.

    MOBO: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...067&CatId=4720
    GPU: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...156&CatId=3669
    CPU: Can't find the link... but its and i5 750 quad core.
    RAM: 2x http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...614&CatId=4524
    2x http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...850&CatId=4524

    I can't see anything wrong (I'm not sure whats good in the P55 line though),other than the RAM sticks are rated for different voltages. I don't think it will be much of a problem as the difference isn't huge but could cause heating/stability issues.

    Also that site is showing your old corsair RAM as being in-stock (freq brought together with the mobo)

    Yeah sadly the store that is close by doesn't actually have my old Corsair RAM in store . I would have definitely bought it if they did.

    Hmm is that voltage issue for the RAM a big deal? Should I maybe just put in 4GB of one or the other until I can get a matching pair?

    It doesn't really matter to be honest, just make sure they are the same brand, which typically motherboards only accept one style. (DDR3, DDR2, etc) Which in your case, you're fine. As stated before to be consistent, it's always best to have all the same RAM, but, again, it doesn't really matter if you aren't striving to have the best rig possible.
