Yeah, I'm liking that setup Very much so.

One thing I especially like, being a muscian is those Logitech speakers... I really want a set of them, but there rather expensive, for a guy with no money

I don't know much about the Athlon 64 X2 but know its a good processor, and the RAM also looks good, and with games, this computer should have no problems what so ever with that great graphics card

Great build!

I would get kingston or corsair ram..

 

[Kage]

Hmm, those would have better timings probably, but I have GeIL ram, and I can't say i'm dissapointed with it. Though, I haven't done much, if any overclocking to test it.

I looked into Kingston HyperX which is very good RAM, but the DFI is a board that has its likings, and Geil gets along with it well. Corsair.. HAHHAHAH!! That RAM.. is so.. CHEAPO... Corsair RAM is manufactured on a process that is literally ANTIQUE, and their latency timings are absurdly high along with heat production on MOST models. Sorry, I have to disagree there, Geil is really leading the way right now, especially with their new TCCD contruction theoreticals and principles.

 

[Kage]

Yeah, and Geil aren't really that expensive either, and I have 1GB in my PC. Completely stable RAM, so I can't really say anything about the make thats bad at the moment.

Good luck on the build, and tell us how it runs!
