This is the main pieces to my new system. I just pulled the trigger on the MB and heatsink yesterday. I've listed my prices in case anyone cares (as I think I got great deals).
I am looking for a mild overclock. I have RAM now (4 x 1GB GSkill DDR2 800 CL5-5-5-15). It was a cheap buy months ago ($60 for 4gb), but because its low end ram I believe. Am I right?
Here is what I have for pieces:
Q9450 ($215 out the door, part of Frys $250 combo, returned motherboard)
ASUS P5Q Pro ($129 out the door, available now at NewEgg with coupon EMCAHBAAB)
Xigmatech HDT-S1283, with OCZ Freeze.
Video card is oc'd PNY 7900GT, but I am not targeting Video Card at this point.
I *think* the MB will take the RAM, at least 2GB of it (QVL list shows it doesn't support all 4GB in all 4 slots, for some reason).
Nonetheless, its not great RAM, so I am posting this question:
What is good RAM not astronomically priced that would work well in a mild overclock of the Q9450?
Thanks!!!
