OK I've gotta be a part of these ULTRA low prices on AMD's 939 range. So have decided to build a rig that will handle most games unti I go Conroe later this year, I'm gona get this:

-E3 3000+ Venice
-DFI Lanparty Ultra-D
-RAM Ballistix??
-Hiper 580 modular

I am going to sell my Corsair XMS2 kit so what RAM should I get for about 60-75. What are the ballistix kits like?

my advice stay away from ballistics heard too many bad comment about them

ocz is and will always be mine as a choice next up will be mushkin>geil theres a few others but will always be ocz's

heres some for ya (it it the clearance section but still new and unopened)
........................edited :) really sorry :)

oh good choice of mobo brand *** my dfi mobo and the venice should be able clock easily on 250bus *2250 ghz without pushing it as that my setting

what gfx card you getting/got for it? ;)


EDIT::::
i hope that link isnt against the rules i just thought :)

Have you considered going for a Pentium? As they were part of the price cuts too. You could even get a cheap board (like the Asrock Conroe945G-DVI at £52.82 inc VAT) that would support Core 2 Duo for when you upgrade later and you wouldn't have to sell your DDR2.
 
best memory for venice is low latency stuff, mushkin extreme black would do the job nicely as it runs at CAS2, corsair XMS is also another good option, avoid ballistix though since the failure rate is quite high. as well the 7600GT is good card, you won't be disappointed :)

GSkill ZX and the OCZ low latency modules are good too, just get whichever you can find the cheapest :)

yeah OCZ are god, brilliant clockers too, i found mushkin extreme black just about the best memory i could buy for my mate with some review reading, 2 2 2 latency as well which is better than most
 
I'm about to upgrade my memory (1GB Dual-Channel Cas2.5 G.Skill) if your interested? I was planning on upgrading to Corsair or Mushkin memory :)
