Yup, that looks like it's all compatible; however that RAM looks suspiciously expensive, should be less than $100 IIRC. I'm guessing you're getting two of them?

 

[znfrazier]

yeah i really wanted to use the whole 16gb of RAM..pshhhhh what a dream that would be, but that would cost me just about my car haha, so is there any thing that you would suggest, that is at least DDR3 1333mhz? the one posted is two sticks.

 

[znfrazier]

or what RAM should i get im open to suggestions i notice you have 2x2gb 800 mhz. what would be good?

some of this,

Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Desktop Memory Model F3-16000CL9D-4GBRH - Desktop Memory

 

[znfrazier]

should i get 2 of that set?

Why not buy the AMD Phenom II X4 965 Socket AM3 45nm Quad-Core Processor, with 3.2GHz and overclock it to 3.4GHz?

 

[znfrazier]

well im new to all this stuff so i kinda just played it by ear, but would it effect anything on the computer by overclocking?

 

[farinha]

Besides the better performance no.

 

[znfrazier]

wouldn't it be easier to get the 3.4ghz and overclock it to 4.0ghz, im still a little shaking on the overclocking thing just because im new to this and i fear that if i do something like overclocking i might fry my processor. Is overclocking easy to do?
