He's right, but don't worry about it. Around July 22, Intel is having HUGE price cuts. That CPU you were looking at (I'm using it right now), imagine it $50 cheaper. Go Intel because they're wiping the floor with AMD at the moment. BTW, budget RAM is usually a bad idea.

Can you recommend a good RAM thats PC6400 DDR2 w/heatsinks that wont cost me over 150 bux?

The intel system would be my preference. Are you planning to use an alternate cpu cooler? (intel stock not brilliant)

I was just using that exact pair of sticks and they were defective. Gave me constant BSOD's (a computer builder's worst nightmare). I assume I was just unlucky, but unless you can't find anything better than that, stay away from it.

Intel. Intel owns AMD. But AMD and ATI are coming out with shit real soon to kick Intel and Nvidias asses (supposedly). But I would go for the first one.

Wait till Intel price drops, and get this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6813128046

The ram you selected is fine, I've heard super talent makes pretty good quality ram.
