If you want a 570 board

If you plan on upgrading to a Phenom later on and want to spend around 100 bucks get a AM2+ board, better upgradabilty

I agree with the above posters. And get an 8800gt.

The 8800GT 256MB would be a good choice unless you have a big resolution.

dont get that ram, this has better timings: PQI turbo 4-4-4-12

EDIT: i meant originally that it has better timings then the first ram listed, not oscaryu's but i still think this ram is better oh and fixed the link to the correct ram, sorry!

Why not get mine? It has the same latencies (probably higher, as I've heard A-Data RAM usually has the cas higher than described). It's from a WAY more trustworthy manufacturer, AND, it's cheaper.

So, why not get the one I listed?

lovely? · 12-23-2007, 11:30 PM

trustworthy manufacturer? i've had no problems with pqi, as far as im concernd they have great customer service, helped me in a pinch with a friends build. and more simply, rebates are hell and that ram runs at 2.2 volts, whereas this one can be overclocked comfortably to 950MHZ on 2.0V, 1.8 standard

oh crap i listed the wrong ram! brb

Yes, A-Data and G Skills are also brands with great customer service. Off of your statement, I could trust any company that has great customer service

. Although cheaper, I'd spend the extra $4 and get from a MORE trustworthy and known manufacturer.

Overclocked to 950MHz? One review on the Patriot claimed 1000MHz...
