Hi everyone, I am building a system using a e4300,

I was looking to use the system for gaming but I can't spend a fortune,

gigabyte ds3 or asus p5ne sli, cheapest ddr800 you can find, kingston value, corsair value, both works. Have a nice day !

many thanks for the help,

I was looking at this board : ASRock ConRoe945G-DVI - Has anybody used this board for overclocking at all?

945 chipset boards tend to be the worst when it comes to overclocking.

Just grab the gigabyte DS3 or something along those lines

As for the ram, check out ******and get a cheap set of 2gb for crazy low price, i got 2 sets of the kingston value ram for 45 after the rebate, 1 for me 1 for my gf

oh guess i cant put urls in... it was "slickdeals dot net"

Gigabyte P965 D3

2gb G.Skill DDR2 800

Newegg has good prices on both.
