New Build: Mobo and Ram Questions
Last response: in Systems
I am down to making the last few purchases for my new system. I will be running Vista 64 Home Premium and am hoping that following mobo-ram combinations are a good match but am weary of researching and ready to buy as it seems like any combo of the four would work. I would like to moderately OC. I have no experience with computer building. Thanks in advance for your help.

Excellent board - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
The Corsair is DDR2 800 the G.SKILL is DDR2 1000 - I would stick with the DDR2 800 for better relibility.
Also pick the Samsung monitor... awesome reviews.
Everything else looks good, very nice choices though you may consider the Abit IP35 Pro from ClubIt.com if there are no budget restraints.
