Thank you for converting the currency for us. Your prices are not so different than here. Your choice between E8400 and Q6600 should be based on your usage. See the guide linked in my signature for a discussion of quad vs. dual core.

A P43 Chipset motherboard would be better, or ideally a P45.

Cooler Master PSUs should generally be avoided. The Corsair you mentioned is decent, but a slightly higher wattage PSU would be nice.

Often Antec Earthwatts, True Power Trio, or Quattro are affordable. OCZ is another lower cost PSU that is usually OK.

Regarding memory, your first priority should be 1.8V at 800Mhz. Timings should be secondary to that.

Hi Proximon thanks for the quick reply

I read somewhere P43's are not good overclockers
and a GA-EP35-DS3L is costing 150$
54 $'s I don't think its justifiable

Will try to find rates for the PSU you mentioned Hopefully will get them at optimal prices

I bought transent RAM for a friend but if I remembered right I have not noticed the Voltage written on the package I might be wrong so How I'll find that one out I Guess I've to google the model no ?

 

[Proximon]

OK, if that is what you have to work with, you could do worse than P35.

Yes google may help on the RAM. Kingston often has low volted RAM, as long as you don't need heat spreaders.
