For me.... 1GB of ram is a must and the graphics card need to be upgraded too.

Erm..... you don't need to get those expensive RAM if you don't overclock, just grab those value ones. However, if you DO overclock, the more important thing is to check out what kind of memory chips are used in the memory modules, not the brand of the memory modules. TCCDs and BH5s are famous for their overclockability

LoL! like I said....

What kind of memory chips do they use in the OCZ Gold Line? I'm not familiar with OCZ memory modules.

OCZ -TCCD
Kingston - BH5(i think so)

but why do people hate Kingston HyperX?

its a bit hard to get a good (more than decent) mobo with RM350...i'm not saying there arent any good mobos with this price tags..just quite hard to find.. make it around RM450 that should be easier.. you wanna have an SLl one rite?
