The reason for this post is to get an idea as to what memory I should be using (OCZ??) for the system I am building. My goal is to O/C the cpu to 2.6GHZ and hopefully beond, I will explain my choices below
Here are the components:
MOBO -- DFI LANPARTY NF4 Ultra D ( Was told to steer away from Crossfire)
CPU -- Venice 3200 ( Had an extra lying around and will plan on O/C it)
RAM -- Currently I am using 2GB of Ram OCZ Winbond model 1GB OCZ4001024WV3DC-K (These are not being O/C'd and was wondering what ram I should get so that I can O/C the computer.
VIDEO -- VGA SAPPHIRE 100186L X1950XT
CASE -- Lian Li Custom Modded Pc-70 USB
PSU -- OCZ POWERSTREAM 600W
HDD -- 2 Seagate 400GB 1 Seagate 100GB
DVD -- Plextor PX760A
SoundCard - SB Audigy EX
Recap:
Now my questions are:
1. How does this look
2. Any future issues I should be aware of?
3. I know I am lowballing with the venice 3200 but I figure I will upgrade it at a later time if it does not O/C right
4. What RAM if any would I be better off going that is not too expensive?
5. Do you think I Should I buy 2 GB or 1 GB? At the moment my old system has 2 GB of that ram and I was going to take out 1 GB and put it in this system since I am building it. What do you think? Games being played are FPS, company of heroes, doom, and potentially WoW
What do you think about the ram?
** Any pointers you can give me so this system O/C's the right way would be appreciated**

I'm no RAM expert so I'm not sure about OCing that particular setup but I would definately go with 2 gigs of RAM. Most games at this point in time greatly benefit from having 2 GB. I only have 1 GB and it's definately noticeable in some games. Fortunately, I'm upgrading in a few weeks and I'll certainly be going with 2 GB of RAM.
