Don't go for that Ocz Platinum 6400 ram. Ocz have had a lot of rma's with that ram, both rev 1's & rev 2's & there have been odd compatibility issues.

Plonk, I don't think a 450w psu would futureproof his rig. It only has 1 4pin power connection also, no good for a dual core mobo.

and in the mobo specs it says that all it needs is "4-pin ATX12V connector, 24-pin main power connector" and from what i can see the psu has them. and 450 would be enough for now id imagine as all ill be running is 1hdd 1dvd and 2 case fans, mobo and cpu

Or this, 3rd 1 down: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Geil_DDR2_Memory.html

Komplett don't have much of a selection, you could go for 5300 or 5400 ram. It'd make no difference at stock speeds.

Would be ok for stock settings, but oc'ing.......who knows :eek: You could be lucky like Mutant Fruit & get a serious oc on value ram, Here: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055004877
But chances are that it won't run much faster than its rated for.

Edit, look in2 what ram mutant has

I can definitely recommend the Geil PC6400, mine clocks to 880+Mhz @ 4-4-4-12, 2.1v. I just wish I'd bought a few kits at the time, as they were just £107.99. OcUK whacked up the price when Gibbo realised just how good this ram actually is (now £164.99)
