Hey.

Can anyone advise of any problems with the following build. Bit of a minefield with different types of memory speeds and such.

Asus M4A79XTD Evo (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard [90-MIBAJ0-G0EAY00Z]

AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition 3.20GHz (Socket AM3) - Retail [HDZ955FBGIBOX]

Patrtiot G Series Sector 5 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel (PGV34G1333ELK) [PGV34G1333ELK]

cheers

I would get this RAM instead:

I assume you have a decent PSU and a graphics card?

Thanks. Build is actually for a mate. Just checked the graphics card and CPU he has running.

PSU: OCZ Stealth Extreme 500W
GPU: ATI 5770

You think this will be okay?

Looks OK!

In actual fact it was for me, so thanks for your input.

Appreciate it.

That motherboard is a really good pick. It's one of the cheapest AM3 board that would run Crossfire properly with 8x/8x. When you feeling your 5770 is not keeping up or have cash to spare in the future, you can grab another one to Crossfire (if you can find one at good price), or even dich (well, sell) your 5770 and grab a pair of 5850 to Crossfire (or whatever's better bang for bucks card coming with the ATI refreash) if you got money to blow
