Ill be getting my paycheck tomorrow so i need to know what ram to get and power supply. Im planning on getting the Coolermaster RS becuz it has good efficiency and good power with nice stable rails. As for the ram i would like to get some corsair 3200XL 2X1GB from zipzoomfly. Any suggestions? Im trying to make it stay around 300 dollars for both. I will be overclocking if that changes anything so yea, plz make suggestions!
 
I'm running a coolermaster 450W PSU and have been really happy with it on the following setup:

3700+ san diego OC'd to 2.8ghz
asus a8n-sli deluxe
xfx 7800GT
mushkin 2x512mb
western dig WD160JS
creative Live 7.1
1 optical drive
3 case fans

Plenty of power, and I've never had any problems with consistency or random reboots (even under 600mhz of OC) or any of the symptoms typically associated with poor quality PSUs.

As for the RAM, the OCZ Platinum is a great buy. $220 or something on newegg right now. Between the coolermaster and OCZ you'd still be under 300.

Sorry, but both of those choices are not good. First of all, the RAM is a complete waste of money. You can pick up 2GB of Value RAM for around $140 nowadays. Go with that.

As for the PSU, go with a Fortron AX500-A. It is cheaper then that unti and is definitely a much better supply.
 
The thing is im overclocking, of course i can run a divider but i guess i can get value ram and save myself some money, as for the fortron that looks like a good power supply, i didnt see that one, i havent placed my order yet becuz i was still going over what i should order, so ill go with that power supply.
