looks like a good spec but the RAM looks crappy

"1GB GeIL PC2-6400c4 £337.19"

I'd change that to the Corsair HX 520W (here). Rest looks good (RAM must be an error)

Bundle deal right? Ram could use a little boost, looks good for the rest

lol, yeah the mobo, cpu and ram is all in a bundle deal

I thought that the ram was a bit weak myself, any suggetsions on alternatives? the conroe cpu dont benefit from low latencys apparently so what ram would be good for conroe?
