Okay the below is what I?ll be putting together in the next few days. Please give me your comments or suggestions. If you notice anything that might be a problem, or somewhere I could improve upon, please let me know

I will mostly use the PC for 1. Web browsing; 2. Internet File sharing; 3. Music editing/ CD burning; 4. Picture Editing; 5. Some gaming with newer games like UT2003 or Enter the Matrix.



My new Rig:

And of course I haven't O'Ced in years, so I am unfamillar with all fo the time settings n such. What about Buffalo Tech DDR Ram? Anyone tried this stuff? Thanks.

For RAM I'd recommend Crucial. It's one of the best RAM manufacturer around online, and their price is very affrodable.

Available RAM for your board model:

And nice rig BTW.
