Hello everyone, I'm very glad I ran across this forum as I have learned many things in the short time i've spent reading here. I came for advise on a build I am doing and hope to become a regular as this is becoming my favorite hobby. Forgive me if I don't post my hardware in the proper fashion, I cant seem to find the thread with the layout I seen the other day.
Case: Xion AXP600
Motherboard: M4A79XTD EVO
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955BE 125W
RAM: Look Below because this is my main need of advise as far as I know.
GPU: XFX Radeon HD5850 BE
PSU: CoolerMaster SilentPro 700W
HDD: WD Caviar Black 7200rpm 1tb
I would like advise on cooling as I would eventually like to overclock if for nothing else than to learn how. I also would like some advise on memory. I am wanting to start with 4 Gb's and eventually upgrade to 8. I am wondering if I would benefit more from running 1 4Gb stick right now and upgrading to 2 so I would be able to run at 1600 or start with 2x2Gb sticks and add two more down the road and run at 1066. The only reason I ask is because I recently read that AMD memory contorllers often benefit more from timing adjustments than with raising the clock. Any input would be very useful. And feel free to tell me any changes that you would make to my setup.
