Ok, so I'm about to build my system.
I haven't decided, but I will get either a E6300 or E4300. There doesn't seem to be a consensus about which is the better chip.
But my main question is about RAM. I really don't know a whole lot about performance on different types of RAM or anything.
I would link it, but newegg is down.(at least for me right now)
OCZ FlexXLC Edition 2x1GB DDR2 800
Cost $250 after rebate
And I saw some by a different brand that was 2x1GB DDR2 800 also, but the price was I think about $190 or so with no rebates.
Now I know the OCZ is a better quality, but what kind of performance difference will there be. Is it worth the extra $60 for it? I plan on OC whatever CPU I get to about 3.0-3.2, I plan to use stock HS/Fan.
Advice?
