trying to decide what to put in my build
OK i have a 800$ budget i am going to keep this comp for a while(5 years) I am building at the start of next year and i was thinking to myself go for Phenom II which is cheaper or I7 which is more expensive or a dual core but that would likely be changed out in a few years, i do not want a huge hard drive i was thinking in the 160gb range, i want a good cooling system, i am not sure on the graphics card, i want a 64 bit OS, i definitely want ddr3 ram i was thinking 6-8gb but i will probably settle for 4, and finally i want a case that is impressive to look at

the reason i asked is because ddr2 mobos are cheaper, by about 50$ and i can find some ddr2 ram, about 3gbs, around my house and i was wondering
1 would ddr2 ram be cheaper(you said no so i will go with that 2 would ddr2 hurt the performance(unanswered) |

ddr2 is way more then ddr3 now. No reason to get ddr2 if you can get ddr3, although the performance gains between the 2 are really minimal
