I suggest this ram if you have the money: http://www.gskill.com/en/f2-8500phu2-hz.html it's insane. :drool:

:thup: :thup: That is a great mainboard for overclocking. And it had a very good sound card as well, so you won't need to buy a better one.

The crosshair can support 2Gb sticks... but they're slow and worthless unless you want to have more then 4Gb of ram.
And I don't think you want to spend that much money...

to be honest.. you are spending way too much money on this amd system, the timings on the 2x2048 are going to be way to high. all you need is 2gig.
