Just going to do a little upgrade. Only thing is cpu, gpu and ddr3. on the cpu I'm going amd but not sure if 955 or 945 and I will not oc. 2nd gpu will be 5770 because 5850 is to much. 3rd can I keep my ddr-2 -800 ram or do I need ddr-3. Please give advice

If you are keeping your old mobo (and it supports ddr-2), you probably cant use ddr-3.
Even if you could, it's not worth it.
