Hi guys,
So I have this rig:
Computer:
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64
DirectX DirectX 11.0
Motherboard:
CPU Type DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, 2133 MHz (8 x 267)
Motherboard Name Biostar 945P-A7A (3 PCI, 2 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, LAN)
Motherboard Chipset Intel Lakeport i945P
System Memory 3072 MB (DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM)
DIMM1: Centon Electronics JIYS38UXA: 1GB 1 GB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz) (3-3-3-9 @ 200 MHz)
DIMM2: G Skill F2-5300CL5-2GBMQ: 2 GB DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz)
Display:
Video Adapter ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series (1024 MB)
3D Accelerator ATI Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper)
Monitor Acer H213H [21.5" LCD] (LF5080024201)
Multimedia:
Audio Adapter ATI Radeon HDMI @ ATI Juniper/Broadway - High Definition Audio Controller
Audio Adapter Realtek ALC655 @ Intel 82801GB ICH7 - AC'97 Audio Controller [A-1]

So I just bought the following mobo/cpu combo:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103851&Tpk=19-103-851
Now I am wondering what type of RAM I should use. I know that the mobo supports DDR3(reason I bought it) and it is dual channel supporting up to 16gbs of RAM. Now I was trying to update my PC spending as little as possible. I am currently planning on sticking with the 3gbs of DDR2 that I have on there right now, but I want to buy DDR3 in the near future. With that in mind, I was wondering what type of DDR3 I should buy since there are a lot of different types( ie. 1333, 1066, etc).
Just for reference, I am also planning on xfiring 2 HD5770 (since I already got one) and the most use I am planning on getting out of my pc is gaming (maybe a little video editing but that's kinda moot). I also have not done any overclocking before, but I am willing to do so, especially since I've read that the phenoms and ATIs are easier to overclock.
Thanks for all the help! Let me know if you need any more information!
