Looking to "upgrade" an existing build by replacing some parts. Here are the parts that will be retained:
Case: Gloss Silver Chieftech Dragon
PSU: FSP AX500-A w/pfc (20+4 pin and PCI-E connectors) Please LMK if this might not work!
IDE Western Digital 250GB
IDE DVD-RW
IDE CD-RW/DVD Combo
Floppy
So now I need the following (these are what you'll be critiquing):
Motherboard: ABIT IB9 LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 Allendale 1.8GHz 2M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail
Video Card: XFX PVT73GUGD3 GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail
RAM (these are the choices that I am considering):
GeIL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail (don't know anything about these since there are no reviews??)
OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail(WTF is the difference between these and the ones above??(not just the price either!))
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail (not really a fan of corsair but if they are good I don't mind. The rep on-site here is a nice touch too)
Patriot eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
Well that is what I got for now. Help me out here.
