Out of place? In what way?

What about this instead,

eBuyer Quick Find: 114720

I just don't understand DDR-II at all, so am not sure what RAM is compatible with my previous specification.

Out of place? In what way?

I think he means spec wise compared to the higher quality CPU/Mobo/PSU etc.

The Asus board takes DDR2-533/667 or 800 memory, so that OCZ Ram will do you just fine, a nice balance between price and performance

 

[WinkingPig]

Fair enough, so that OCZ RAM will be better for overclocking the rig then?

 

[Adywebb]

It won't be the very best, you will have to spend more than that, but it will OC fine and certainly better than the Kingston Value

 

[WinkingPig]

Oh i know it wont be the very best, to be honest i probably wont overclock it in the slightest, it's not for gaming anyway.

But i do on occasions play CounterStrike, in which that graphics card will be plenty.

Ady beat me to it, but yeah that just what i mean.

Is that another decent Power Supply, not sure whether the 430w will handle the machine, any ideas?

Addition:

Well it should be a perfectly good system, like i may or may not put it on credit, undecided, it was just an option to spread the cost out, as i also have other things i am looking to get, i've already had credit from eBuyer which was paid off in full in their 6months buy now pay later.

So due to that, i now am classed as *trustworthy* and they've increased the limit by double, prompting this new purchase. Because although i like having this Intel 3GHz, it still doesn't seem to pack a punch when multi-tasking, it just simply locks up.

Don't know much about Coolermaster PSU's to be honest Chris.


As regards 430W being enough - obviously a little more never did any harm, but with your spec having a single mid-range graphics card, I would think it would be fine.

I'm using a Seasonic 500W quite happily on an OC'd Quad with a ATi Radeon X1950XT.....

 

[WinkingPig]

Righty Ho!

I'll order everything just as soon as that Asus P5B-E Deluxe surfaces!
