Well, so I've decided to finally break down and build myself a gaming comp, and as of late I've started to buy peice buy peice until the big jump (motherboard, cpu, DDR2 ram). So far I have purchased:
Antec P180 B ($115)
WD Caviar 160 g ($50)
Lite on SATA DVD burner ($50)
and I am deciding to buy:
e6420 C2D ($189)
Open Box: ASUS P5N32-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ($142)
ASUS EN7100GS512/TD/128M Geforce 7100GS ($42) (just untill I decide to upgrade later)
and at last the memory but I don't know if I should get
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) ($101 after MIR)
or
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 675 (PC2 5400) ($89)
now I know that this is modest and I don't have a lot of money left and so this is all roughly under $600
Please give me your thoughts and advice, especially about my memory decision. Thank you for your input.
