[Red Alert]

for the price of the ram you picked out you can get DDR2 800 ram for the same price

Changed

Power Supply
and
Ram

Everything else good?
I would change the Processor but I don't want to spend to much.
Plan on going SLI later on.

With the money you save by changing the PSU, you can now buy the processor I posted earlier.

Very reliable http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=PS-E5150GH http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_details.php?id=23 (it's a review of a clone, silverstone has enhance make the unit) then stick with the e4300, it's decent and so long as you don't need virtualization it's just fine. Infact it's easier to overclock due to the higher multiplier Merged Post: Originally posted by Schism@Jun 18 2007, 06:34 AM <!--QuoteBegin-Shinobi @Jun 17 2007, 08:54 PM Changed Power Supply and Ram Everything else good?
