The Q9500 has a higher multiplier. Get the Q9500. Also, 8GB is a MUST if you want to game. If you're getting a Q9300 and DDR2-1066, get 6GB at the minimum.

Get a used Q6600 or better, OC it to atleast 3.2GHz, OC the GTX 460 and you should be set.

What is the highest FSB I can achieve with DDR2-667? And also, I have a P5K-VM mobo. Can I OC on this?

Core 2 Quad Q6600 @Stock speeds 6GB DDR2-667 XFX R7 250 Core Edition (GDDR5) Windows 7 Professional No, I will not upgrade. I am only 13, and as we all know, 13-year-olds don't have a lot of cash. 1600x900 resolution 40FPS is fine. I will be playing BF4 MP, BF3 MP, Plantside 2, Tribes...

Also, how would it perform at 1600x900?

I will only be using this machine for light gaming. My PSU is an Antec MT350 These are my specs Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 @ Stock speed 4GB (1x4) DDR2-800 Asus P5K-VM Mobo Also, does it need a 6-pin connector?

Okay. Will my Q6600 (Stock 2.4GHz) Bottleneck? My motherboard has a locked multiplier, so I cannot overclock it.

I found a second-hand GTX 460 for 50$ Problem is, my motherboard has a PCIe 1 slot My motherboard is an MSI 7383. I was on intel's website, reading about the G31 Chipset. Quote: G31 is not PCI Express 2.0 Compliant Also, on the motherboard's website... Quote: PCI Express v1.1 SPEC Compliant...

Okay, thanks.

Title says it all. I have a couple of old DDR2-533 sticks of ram, and I'm wondering if I could use some on my system. The thing is, my motherboard supports DDR2-667/800 speeds. This is my motherboard http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G31M2_V1.html#hero-specification EDIT: Please ignore this thread.

I have A LOT of old DDR2-533 sticks lying around, and I'm wondering if I could stick some into my old system. The thing is, the motherboard supports 667/800 ram. I don't want to blow cash on obsolete ram. This is my MoBo http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G31M2_V1.html#hero-specification

Hold on a second. The specs say that the PCI x16 slot is "PCI Express Bus SPEC V1.1 Compliant" What does this mean?
