So I know this is a noobish question but I am in the process of upgrading my dad's computer for him. He will be getting a new PSU, motherboard and CPU. I also want to give him my F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL kit that I have spare.
The problem is that I bought the kit for my SB-E machine, and it doesn't have any memory comparability information on AMD platforms. Specifically, I was considering getting him a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 along with an 8350.
If I went with Z77 then I know the memory would work no problem since it's certified, but the 8350 is looking like a nice alternative to the 3570k I was going to buy previously.
Am I worrying over nothing or are chances something goes wrong pretty low?
