I have decided on eveything but the Ram card and case. My build consists of
cpu - intel allendale E2160 1.8ghz - I will be mildly OCing to 2.8ghz
mobo - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L $90
vid card - SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 2600PRO 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16
PSU - Corsair VX 550W Power Supply
HDD- WD caviar 320gb

-I was looking at this memory. Its CL5.
Memory - g.skill (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800

-Is this a good choice for OCing? Or should i get something with CL4. I am building a budget system and i would like to spend around $50.
-I also saw this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146565
Any suggestions?

Would i be able to OC with the G.Skill?
Id rather get that since its $45 and it gets better reviews on newegg. The Crucial Ballistcs is $65 before the rebate and the reviews show a good amount of DOA and infant deaths. I will be upgrading my PC in the future and will be buying better Ram. Just looking for a good value for now.

Also why go with a video card with DDR3?

because the memory is faster, and i think runs cooler. What's the budget and use??? cos if it happens to be gaming, you'd be doing yourself a disservice going for the 2600 PRO
