Its time to upgrade my 2.26 GHz Pentium 4 to an Athlon 64 running at 2200MHz.

Pentium 4 2.26 GHz => AMD Athlon 64 2200MHz
2 x DDR 2700 => 2 x DDR 2700 (I am going to get Faster DDR a week later. Tight budget. What to get?)
Shuttle FS51 => Gigabyte GA K8NSNXP-939
MSI GF4600Ti => Winfast A400 GT (GF6800GT)
Stock Cooler => Cooler Master Hyper 6
200W PSU => 350 SPI

If I O/C to ~2500 ish.. What type of RAM would i need?
DDR3500 DDR3700 or DDR4000 ?

Also is the Gigabyte MoBo any good...the MSI one isn't going to come any time soon and I have heard loads of bad things about it..
