I have an old PC based on an Athlon 3000 xp and XFX 6800gt AGP.
It's getting a bit long in the tooth so I'd like to build a new dual core base unit for budget gaming but with some good upgrade potential from the motherboard.
These are what I've got picked out for a budget gaming system with some possible OCing potential and future upgradeability.
CPU E2180 retail £53 with
Mobo Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R £79
I'm torn between the RAM so I need some help... Do I go for
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 CAS 4-4-4-12 for £30
or
Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5(5-5-5-12)
Both ram works out the same because the GeIL needs some postage added so price isn't the deciding factor.
Any thoughts?
