the ram i just bought is GeIL 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz VALUE PLUS Dual Channe
the graphics card i have is temporary and im saving up for a ATI Radeon 6950 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express,
the budget for the motherboard is around £100 but i want it to be able to crossfire. as in time if i was to upgrade my graphics i plan to get another of the same.

i have been looking at that one, a friend of mine has the 3.40GHz and he says its very good, and the 3.20GHz could be easily overclocked to a similar speed. so that one seems quite a likely choice.
but i still want to look around until im certain.

i think i will probably go for 965, it seems to be the best option for me

i have a temporary graphics card which is pretty good, so that will keep me happy for a bit, and so im saving for the 2GB 6950.
and what kind of speeds does the 965 overclock to? does anyone know?
