I've never herd of Huntkey so I don't know if they make quality products or not but I would consider changing that. You also might consider DDR2 800 rather than 1066, even with overclocking 800 is really all you need and it's cheaper. I might also consider 2x2gb rather than 2x1gb of memory. Other than that it looks good.

- Go for 4Gb of any of those makes of RAM. DDR2-800 will suffice also.

- If you are gaming try and find a 4870 it has an edge over the 4850. You will also want a copy of Vista to unlock DX10.

- Q9xxx's are expensive and don't release the best performance for gaming, you might be better with an E8400, it should be significantly cheaper too.

Corsair dominator 5-5-5-15 ddr2 1066mhz vs OCZ reaper 4-4-4-15 800mhz
(the performance got different very much?)

About 4850 change to 4870(i got think before)bez budget problem so i try brought 4850 and for few month buy another 4850 to CF it(is it ok?)

Ya E8400 cheap and better for gaming but i heard that ppl say some games will run Quad,is it true?

thanks you ausch30 and jpdykes 1st(wait for your reply again)

Go 1066 if you want to overclock, otherwise take the 800. There is no noticeable performance difference.

You can Xfire if you want. That's an acceptable solution. Especially on a tight budget.

Games will run on quads, but developers aren't making best use of all the core available to them. Consequently, in gaming terms, a faster clocked dual (same price) seems to have a slight edge. Expect this to change when developers get their act together.
