Gonna go with DDR2 for RAM, but I'm still undecided as to what exactly I'm gonna buy, so any suggestions would be appreciated. By the way, I'm only looking for RAM suggestions. Already got everything else under control.

When choosing a MoBo and memory, choose one that uses 2,4, 0r 6 gigs. Don't get one that uses three. You'll get a loss of performance.

Set yourself a budget. Try to stay in it and don't forget shipping. I net-shopped for a month and after all was done, got it all from new egg. After shipping was calculated, it was about $150 more from multiple suppliers. Newegg met most lower prices and a one time shipping cost sealed the deal. I have NEVER gotten a bad part from Newegg. Look at MaximumPC. They have a $647 and $500 rigs that rock. http://www.maximumpc.com/tags/price http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/how_build_awesome_pc_647+parts+guide http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/build_a_500_pc_play_crysis_40fps

The reason I say G-Skill the price is cheaper then most and they offer a great product memory has good timmings and voltages, and make sure they come stock with heatspreaders.
