Some Suggestions

[Brtnboarder495]

Hey all.

I've been out of the loop for quite some time now, and am finally looking to upgrade.

The two components I am very confident in wanting to maintain, are linked below (CPU & GPU). But I'm not so sure about memory and motherboard. This is coming from a G. Skill and DFI AMD fan, but overall I just want something that provides the best bang for buck (I'd like to spend ~400 on memory (2x1Gb setup) and motherboard combined, hopefully 450 max).

What would the next level up option be? Or is that ultimately the best memory option without spending 250+?

Any mobo suggestions?

Thanks for the start!
