CPU - E6600
HSF - Scythe Ninja Plus (with 120mm fan)
MOBO - P5W DH Deluxe (intel 975x)
GFX - HIS ATI Radeon X1800 GTO ICEQ3 (to be flashed to a X1800XT)
PSU - Seasonic S12-600W
HD - Hitachi T7K250
CASE - Jeantech Phong II
All the above have already been ordered and are making their way towards me now. They are exactly what I need from this machine; the GFX are plenty for me, I only play WoWarcraft and the CPU needed for Vid/DVD encoding.
I went for the mobo as it will allow me for X-Fire sometime in the future.
Only component missing is the RAM, and thats why im posting here, I need a little help choosing.
I know I want 2x1Gb. I know I want 800mhz

i would go with corsair, kingston, and no other (in that steps ) i got myselfe 2 gigs of corsair xms2 ddr2 800 (5-5-5-12) i see no point in geting the higher priced 1000 ones, btw corsair released ne ram about 2 or 3 days ago with beter heatsink fins, but i gues they cost 350 to 480(if i remember correctly)
