Upgrade spec check

Guys,

Comments welcome on this one. Just a CPU/Board/RAM upgrade for the moment.

G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PQ PC2-8000C5 (2x2GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ) (this is stupidly cheap, is it poop?)
Asus P5K Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 3.00GHz (1333FSB) - Retail

looks good

personally I'd throw in a cpu cooler to get a good overclock going on that Wolfdale.

excellent combination - get a Arctic Freezer 7 Pro to cool that cpu.

Can't really add anything to the advice above but you might want to remove the swearing since it is against the rules.

If you have a bit more to spend on the cooler then a Tuniq Tower is a good option.

Just check that you have the case space =]
