I'm unsure on a graphics card for this build, so if anyone can give me suggestions I'd appreciate it.

I doubt that you can use DDR2 rams for sandy bridge. I think only DDR3 rams are compatible.

That's a good build for a single card set up. If your looking to run a second video card later on you want a board with two pci-e 16 slots. Same with that cpu you have up there. You want the 2500k...it's the version that o/c's. Also you want a psu with more pci-e connectors if your going to run a second vid card later on.

A HD 6950 would be nice.

 

[joonkimdmd]

wouldn't it be better to recommend him ram with 1600 than 1333 when price difference isn't much?
