I'd like to know if you all think that this memory ARB price of ~$50 is good for the money?

I'm looking to build a Athlon II X2 250 with Giga-byte AM2+ GA0MA785GM-US2h board for as cheap as possible. System needs to be able to be OC'ed in the future and handle Photoshop photo editing, flight sim, and general surfing.

Good deal on Corsair sticks?

thanks for the advice!

Sounds like good RAM to me.

I have that MB btw and like it. I used the Phenom II x2 500 Black cpu with it. Consider:
MB price $79
x2 250 $75

combo $136 great deal

combo w/x2 550 is $161 - $25 more and great deal

The 550 has advantage of a 70% chance of unlocking the other 2 cores and making a x4 at 3100MHz. Is also generally considered a better OC chip.
