Hi, I need a bit of solid advice about what to get. Essentially, it boils down to a compromise between RAM and Graphics card.
Do I get:
1. Mushkin Redlines PC4000 with a 6800GS XXX Extreme Edition (both **this week only**) (£399.99)
or
2. OCZ Platinum PC3200 EL with an ATI X1800XT 256MB (£399.38)
To be used with:
AMD X2 4400+
Asus A8N-SLi Premium
With the Mushkins, I can clock the pants off the 4400+ but dont get a high end graphics card. With the OCZs I get a better graphics card but limited overclocking headroom. The OCZs have tight timings, but dont overclock well (unless I use a divider). The Mushkins can have tight timings and overclock without the divider.
I don't game "heavily" but when I do, I play at 1024 x 768 and want all settings maxed. BF2, FEAR, COD2, NFS:MW etc
So, your opinions needed.
