PSU for 8800GTS 320mb and question on which ram

[Bungral]

I'm building a new system with a BFG 800GTS 320MB, E6600 C2D, Asus P5N-E mobo.

I know its not a great idea but for now i'm looking to save a lil money on RAM and i'm just curious as to whether i should go for a brand name in:

or seriously extra budget ram in:

My question is which ram should i opt for in your opinions? The faster Elixir memory or the sligltly less budget (still very budget) and slightly more reputable Crucial memory?

My second question is would this PSU power such a system?

Any and all help appreciated

I can only comment on the power supply, I have a 580 watt version and its a nice unit. I'm pretty sure it'll be up to the job as long as your not throwing two of those 8800's together in sli or anything intense like that.

Na i'm just running the single card.. This started from just wanting to upgrade my gfx card for about £100 and now i'm building a system for around £600.

Always the way!

On the ram front i've decided to go with this rather than the budget stuff:

Off topic but if your going too get that motherboard be prepared too shell out for a top-top end NB HS. Ala the Swifty Fat lump or noctua thing.

if you know its not a great idea then why do it?

Going off the specs you listed i just can't understand why you'd want to scrape the barrel on the memory.

here gotta be worth the extra tenner.

EDIT - serves me right for not reading the full thread until after i post a reply, such a tool
