[vgmaster9]

I'm new at this, and im build a computer mainly for gaming. I all ready got most of the parts including a evega 7900gt, but i still need a psu, mobo, and a cpu. I wont be doing much oc'ing, and all i got is $500. Any help would be apreciated, im not sure what to get.

You already have RAM? Or do you need that too? If you have RAM- what do you have?

I have like 3 different brands of ram corsair, kingston, and one that has OC on it so if they dont work, i'll just go buy one that works. There fairly new.

You need DDR2-800 for AMD and DDR2-667 for Intel.

With Intel i know i got the right ram, with Amd i might need to buy some, cuz my last comp was fried so im not sure if it works.

Well for AMD you want to get 2GB Corsair XMS DDR2-800.
