i'm thinking of buying more RAM. i'm trying to get 8GB of RAM for $50, i found these:

http://www.amazon.com/Fully-Buffered-Upgrade-PowerEdge-DDR2-667-PC2-5300/dp/B00332E4UE/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1389552146&sr=1-1&keywords=ram

my motherboard is a ASUS P8 Z77-V LX

was wondering if that ram would be compatible?

No. DDR2 RAM will not work in a DDR3 motherboard.
Cheapest on PC PartPicker is ~$64

No it wont work on your mobo. Get a set of 2x4gb gskill. Ripjaws X blue and you will be good to go.
