But the sad fact is i have already bought the ram and mobo! Will buy the psu HDD cooler cabinet and other stuff as said and sorry to disobey..
Can u help with the UDIMM issue?
UDIMM is a subtype of DIMM.
DIMM stands for Dual Inline Memory Module.
Dual = the electrical contacts on each side of the PCB are unique signals. On SIMMs they are shorted together.
Inline = all electrical contacts lay along a straight line
memory module = self explanatory.
DIMM tells us a lot about the mechanical and electrical properties of of the device and when coupled with a particular generation of memory provides for mechanical compatibility. Any DDR3 DIMM can be inserted into any DDR3 DIMM slot. Derivative forms such as SO-DIMM, MicroDIMM, and UniDIMM may contain the exact same chips but are mechanically incompatible.
Inside of the DIMM form factor are several different but closely related electrical and logical interfaces.
First is the unbuffered DIMM, or UDIMM. Unbuffered DIMMs expose all signals from the SDRAM ICs (the memory chips) to the IO bus. There is no intermediary.
Next is the registered DIMM, or RDIMM. Registered DIMMs buffer the command and clock signals as these experience a much greater electrical load than the address and data signals. This allows more memory ranks to be connected to the same bus. RDIMMs are used in most servers and workstations.
Next is the load-reduced DIMM, or LRDIMM. Load Reduced DIMMs buffer everything in both directions (upstream and downstream from the memory controller). LRDIMMs are used in extremely high end servers with massive amounts of memory.
Both RDIMMs and LRDIMMs contain additional onboard circuitry to buffer the signals whereas UDIMMs do not. UDIMMs, RDIMMs, and LRDIMMs all have the same pinout and are mechanically compatible. While consumer platforms typically only accept UDIMMs and only high end servers accept LRDIMMs they are mechanically compatible. It is possible to insert a DDR3-LRDIMM into any DDR3-DIMM slot, but there's a good chance that the firmware will simply refuse to initialize it and thus refuse to boot. Servers and workstations on the other hand can use either UDIMMs, RDIMMs, or LRDIMMs (if supported).
Fully Buffered DIMMs, or FB-DIMMs, are an obsolete form of memory module that are not compatible with other types. DDR2-FBDIMMs can still be found, but no DDR3 variant exists.
In case this is a little bit confusing, there is no such specific thing as a DIMM. All DIMMs can be further classified into a more specific type. Most memory that you will find at consumer electronic shops right now are DDR3-UDIMMs. DDR4-UDIMMs have recently become available as Intel introduced the LGA-2011-3 platform. Online retailers that also deal in servers and workstations will also sell DDR3-RDIMMs and DDR4-RDIMMs.
In consumer parlance, UDIMM is often used synonymously with DIMM.[DOUBLEPOST=1475501709][/DOUBLEPOST]

Hope that clears all the doubts about the concept and you can always check compatibility on the manufacturers website so check with your mobo manufacturers website or memory manufacturers website if either one of them say it's compatible it'll work
