    Default New PC parts choice

    So its finally the time to upgrade my aging rig as well as fixing my soon-to-die HD. This is what I chose so far:

    CPU: Intel E8300

    Mobo: Gigabyte P31-S3G

    RAM: 2x1GB OCZ Reaper HPC Edition (DDR2 800)

    Total: 1404 Israeli shekels = 447.989724 U.S. dollars
    ------
    So far so good, BUT I have a choice of other components, so I'd like to hear what you guys think.
    RAM
    OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Vista Upgrade 1GB Module/2GB Kit - 45 ILS less.
    2x1GB Corsair XMS2 TwinX CL5 - same price.
    2x1GB Corsair XMS2 TwinX CL4 - 15 ILS more.

    Mobo
    Gigabyte 73PVM-S2H - 35 ILS more.
    Asus P5KPL-CM - 20 ILS less.
    ----
    I'd love to hear from you guys!
    Thanks!

    I just replaced the RAM in my system with 4GB of this same OCZ memory and I love it. Had to adjust the voltage manually in the BIOS but it runs great and looks great too, absolutely no complaints. And with the rebate it came to under $15 USD per GB. Cheap!
