Short spec

My friend's dad wants a new computer and has a budget of £400 to spend so my mate thought he'd take advantage and give his dad his computer (Well most of it) and get a free upgrade for himself out of it lol.

My friend is buying an AMD Phenom II X4 905e off of me (2.5ghz 65watt energy efficient) and needs some memory and a motherboard to go with it.

Was looking at:

Kingston HyperX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-14400C8 Dual Channel (KHX14400AD3K2/4G)

And

Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P (Socket AM3) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard

Are those the best choice for the money?

Thanks,

Andy

Not as fast though it seems.

Anyone else? Better motherboard on the market?

Isn't the 790 chipsets going to be better though and the fact the kingston memory is faster?
