Kingston HyperX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel

One of your members in the graphic card section recommended the two items below which look very good.

hi
thanks for the quick replies, not sure of budget probably £1000

 

[larryddd]

thanks for all the advice so far, I suppose one other option would be to sell this build and start over again, but there again I would need more than £1000

 

[larryddd]

thanks for your search sk82jack so the selling option might work.I play a fair amount of games mostly on-line BBC2 etc. I have one 500GB already installed.its about four years since I built my last rig I take it the one you suggest is a very up to date one.
