the memory you have chosen is good mate, it depends wha what you wannt do with it, you can get cheaper memory which does tigher timings at lower speeds as the fx60 has unlocked multi so just raise it to match the fsb to get the desired speeds, but its up to u but id get the memory you chose or some 2gb of corsair pc3500LL which is a good compromise IMHO

Thanks for that Phill

i will look for some pc3500LL when i get back from work :wink:

iv not got a clue what to get when it comes to memory,:$

what do you think about the mobo ?

was also wanting to know if the AMD 64 x2 4800 would be better for games than the FX60 ?

No it wouldnt be, the FX-60 is practically (though not quite i presume) a 200Mhz faster X2 4800+, just has a unlocked multiplyer, it is dual core as well, so it should be faster at everything than the 4800

There`ll be a small difference out of the box with the FX60, but it`ll OC further than the 4800...probably.

thanks for the help lads,

i will stick to the FX60 and start looking for the memory

get an fx60 watercooled mine does 3150 ghz stable each core. no need to phaze them water is just fine.
