Hi guys! help me decide!

Q9550

evga 260gtx

asus P5E3 premium WiFi(ddr3) -OR- asus P5E deluxe(ddr2, same x48 chipset) =???

Corsair DHX ddr3 2x2Gb 1333Mhz -OR- ddr2 2x2Gb 800Mhz(depends of motherboard)

2x sata2 seagate 500Gb

PSU Corsair TX750w - OR - HX620w

Vista x64

Please help me decide with the board & ddram how much performance improve if I'd go with board & ddr3 ??, and I'm not sure about PSU is how much power will be ok for that system, what I know is 750 can deliver power till 900 and 620hx is very silent !!

Thanks for any help or opinion!!

620W should be fine go with the 750W PSU anyway... and get the DDR3.

I'd recommend a completely different setup. Get:

Intel C2Q Q6600 + Zalman 9700 heatsink

4GB of DDR 800 RAM

Gigabyte GA-EP35C-DS3R mobo

650W PSU

Radeon HD4850 (Gigabyte, MSI, Sapphire are great brands)

Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit

You'll save more than $200, yet receive the exact same performance. Trust me, there is less than 1% performance increase between DDR3 RAM and DDR2 RAM.
