Never ordered off the Egg b-4...but most places have a restocking fee of approx 15%.

I have in the past changed an order b-4 it was processed and it didn't cost me a cent.

I would call thwm ASAP to see if it could be changed

Ya, when did you place the order?

Also the board may have an issue running the ram at 1600mhz, but a little tweaking and you should be fine. It's nothing to really worry about.

Ya newegg is quick about getting orders. If you had e-mailed them sunday night you probably would have been ok. But if it doesn't work, then they offered it as a combo, so if it's not compatible than that is partially their problem and you would have some leverage on swapping out ram.

Like bball said, they should work with a few tweaks. Worst case you'll have to run them at slower speeds.
