you could also get the unoverclocked version of the 260GTX and save the 50-100dollars(what ever it is lol) and just over clock it your self.

well looks like my dhilemma is whether or not DDR3 is really worth it. How big is the difference between DDR3 4GB and DDR2 4GB? do u guys think i need DDR3 for example to run empire total war on max settings?
 
do ddr2, there is not that much of a benefit from ddr3. with the money you save on the ram get a better motherboard
 
I agree with the previous posters. Double Data Rate 3 memory is too much $$$ for what is offers currently. Go with DDR2 RAM.
 
Doesnt matter anyway, there are no DDR3 AMD motherboards. Not until the 45nm. Deneb AM3 is released sometime next year.
