    Finally Upgrading...

    So I'm finally getting around to upgrading my computer and I just wanted to see your guys' opinions. I'm only looking at upgrading the Mobo, Processor, and Memory. So feel free to post suggestions but try to keep them in the same price ranges that I already have. Anyways...

    Mobo - Gigabyte GA-P35-S3G

      Looks good to me, except for the memory i dont exactly know if you need memory at that speed i thought that ones that run at 800Mhz are pretty ok i dunno really but all in all including the memory looks good.

      A word of advice you may want to look into upgrading that gfx card in the near future.

          What's your current RAM speed? With 2.5GB, I'd be tempted to dump the 8600GT instead.

              If you're not overclocking, 800mhz is fine, but if you plan on overclocking, the faster the better.

                      The reason for that is because as you raise the FSB, the memory has to run faster. So, if you wanted to drop the multiplier and increase FSB, memory would hold you back.

                              Right now I'm running DDR 333 on a motherboard that came in a computer that was on sale for $200 2 years ago. I'll get around to upgrading my GPU sometime this year.
