swish timings on your RAM, pretty cheap too. Im getting the crucial ballistic range which is about the same, all in all though my one costs 1300 pounds with a monitor (24" samsung)

First I had a little bit cheaper module with CL5 timings (10 less, I'm on a tight budget

), but they raised prices today, so I switched to this.

Motherboard: ASUS M2N4-SLI Socket AM2
RAM: 2x 1GB 667mhz RAM
Graphics: 8600 GT 512mb

Bit of an update to mine, I switched cases (the original one I asked for was out of stock) to the Monolize II. My Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme also didn't fit (midi cases

), so I'm running on Intel's stock cooler ATM. (Still overclocked to 3.3GHz, 3.4 crashed during stability tests, haven't tried anything in between yet)

I don't really like new games on the PC. They're not as fun as the older games (FF7, Starcraft, etc)
So I keep my computer weaker to spare myself money.
Example, only 750gb HDD space and 256mb ram on my video card. My Processor is a 3700+ ClawHammer, back when that was the best processor EVAR!!111!1eleventyone1! Now it's quite old and outdated.
Also, ATI provides horrible support, I plan to switch to nVidia soon.

Motherboard:
RAM: 1GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 256 MB

Nvidia is cheaper. A HD 2900 XT/Pro is more expensive than a 8800GTS, but the 8800 outperforms the ATI.
