Update: Got all of my parts except for the new graphics card I want ( saving up some more money)

Everything is running extremely well and I couldn't be more happy :)

1. Nice PC setup. I would go with 2 4Gig sticks as Dual-Channel = Pro. (Even my Celeron D 4.0 Ghz, with DDRII 533mhz Dual Channel runs fast. :) )

2. You have to remember that a LOT of the forums changed in a SHORT time.

Thanks,
EBrown

yeah that's what I'm gonna go with, 2x (4 gig). I wasn't even aware that the forums changed recently as this topic was my first post in months. I like the new look, though! :D

Sounds as if you have a game plan :)
BTW , nice to hear from you man !

yeah I've been a neurotic lately trying to figure out what I want to do with this build.

and thanks man :) I've been away from TMN for a while now, it's about time I come back. It seems like there aren't as many users on as there used to be, are the boards starting to slow down?

I agree , try and run dual channel. There's some that claim 4 / 2 gig dimms will out perform 2 / 4 gig  but that all depends on the bus speed as well as other motherboard qualities. Just make sure to keep it as cool as possible and your golden , but you knew that already  :)

I plan on going past 8 gigs eventually so I figure I'll plan ahead by getting the 4 gig sticks so when I do want to go to 12 or even 16 i'll have the spare slots on my MOBO. As for now, I plan on getting the parts listed above in my links and running that for a week or two before I get some more cash. I'll then buy another 4 gig stick and an improved PSU. But for now I'm gonna run the 1 4 gig stick and get everything settled. :)
