I'm starting to build a new computer. I've built them in school before, but someone else always bought the parts.
I got the MSI 865PE Neo2 after reading the Mobo tsunami article, as it offered excellent performance for its price. I'm trying to build a pretty fast machine. I don't need it to be top of the line, as I'm on a budget. I have been able to choose parts by myself, but then I got to RAM.
There's just too many different numbers and things for me to comprehend. I know I need DDR, but that's where my knowledge ends. Can someone suggest makers and models to me? I've heard Corsair is good, but they only make like 30 different models, so I need someone to help me narrow it down. I want the best value; I don't need to pay extra for marginal performance increases. I'd like the model that performs best for what you pay, perhaps with good overclocking potential.
Any suggestions?
