I know my PC is a little outdated (I built it a few years ago):
Intel i7 920 | Foxconn BloodRage Mobo | OCZ 6GB RAM | BFG GTX 260 | 750W PSU | Lian Li Case
Since I'm on a budget, and can't buy a new PC at the moment, I would like to make it faster, by upgrading to an ssd, and also the RAM, parts that I should be able to reuse if I decide to build a whole new PC later on. The reason I want to upgrade the RAM is because I do alot of virtualization in VirtualBox.
My motherboard is the following:
Foxconn BloodRage LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
Let me know what you guys think about these, for the upgrade:
SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC256B/WW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M2A1866C9
My board states at the Newegg page that the max RAM supported is 12GB. Do you guys think this RAM would work on the board, even though I suppose it would give me only 12GB of RAM? Also, I know the Samsung SSD is SATA |||, and my board only goes upto SATA || speeds, but I thought why not get the SATA ||| if it's so close to the SATA || prices?
