Ok i'm doing a semi cheap build here this is what i have so far

TSD-1500EARS ::Western Digital WD15EARS Caviar Green Hard Drive - 1.5TB, 3.5", SATA-3G(1.55 lbs)

M17-7302 ::Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64BIT Operating System Software - OEM DVD, English(0.6 lbs)

C283-7000 ::Cooler Master DK8-7G52B-A2-GP CPU Fan - 70mm, 2 Ball Bearing, 754, 939, 940, AM2, AM3, 3050 ~ 6000 RPM, 95W, Aluminum(0.6 lbs)

O261-2017 ::OCZ ModXStream Pro Power Supply - 600-Watt, Modular, Dual +12V Rails, SATA, 80Plus(5.9 lbs)

B69-5124 ::Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H AMD785G MB w/ X4 9850 CPU(7.85 lbs)

all i have left is to pick out some RAM. What would be good for this build? Do i need 2G or 4G and what is with the timing? dual channel? not good with this stuff still learning so if you could link some cheap but good RAM for gaming from Tigerdirect.com that would be greatly appreciated!!
 
1. Why TigerDirect?
2. Why a DDR2 board?
3. If sticking with DDR2, get cheap non-OCZ DDR2-800, and go ahead and get 4GB (2x2GB). If changing to DDR3, the same applies, but DDR3-1333. If going for broke OCing, don't even consider DDR2, and get DDR3-1600 or faster.
