I've got this PC basically completed outside of the RAM purchase. This box is going to be my "everything but work" box. I work from home doing remote PC tech and, finally, built a box to alleviate my other one from being a jack of all trades machine.
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 + E6300
There likely won't be a world of gaming taking place on this machine but plenty of DVD encoding and music recording via ProTools.

Is DDR2 PC6400 good enough or is it really worth aiming for faster stuff? I know my way around PC's but, in regards to... modern... overclocking, I'm a little green.
