Posted about which os to get, then which video card....and now ram....I found out that each motherboard has certified ram....and I was wondering if it matters if I bought ram that is not on the list of certified ram for the motherboard. And I was wondering if I should go with a athlon 64 x2 5600 cpu and 3gb of or stick to or stick with a x2 5200 and 4gb of ram. I found a great combo deal on newegg that had a 5600 and A-data 4gb of ram for $30 off but now the ram is out of stock so....I don't know if the deal will be back oh and I have to buy the 8800gt from another source (luckily buy.com has it for a similar price considering that I don't have to pay shipping there). Also I was if you guys could give me a few points (in other words tell me if the parts look like they'd make a decent if put together). I am trying to buy all my parts by the 24th of this month so I could have it put together by the by the end of this month. The budget I'll have to work with then is $898. Of course I also need to get an anti static band and that'll be about $5 and I am not sure if I can get the extra $5 lol. Here are the parts I am using
