No real difference, but DDR2 is on its way out.

For DDR3 RAM Kingston's Value series is very good. I bought 2 4GBkits for my gaming system.

Try reinstalling DirectX.

desert, no offense but I am literally retarded with computer terms.bigchocolatecat

Apologies.

MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte 870A-UD3 - $95 [newegg]

GPU: Any 6870 - $260 (around)

CPU: AMD Phenom x4 965 - out of stock on newegg $187 on amazon

If you want 2 6870's, then Gigabyte's 890FX-UD5 can run them at full speed for $180 off newegg.

An Athlon x4 640 + Gigabyte 870A-UD3 + 6850 + 4GB kit of RAM is enough for her needs.

to explain to you how annoying trying to upgrade anything in this case is if you see the green platic parts right behind those is where all of my ram and everthing is located

You really need a new case. I was considering upgrading to this one myself:

Great cooling for the price. The DF-30 has blue LED's not white if you prefer blue.

Go for ATX unless you are sure you won't be buying more components and yes it will fit. The case site should have details.

You can build a 965 AM3 build for less - look at the Gigabyte 870A-UD3 + 6870 + 965.

An Antec 200 or Antec DF-35 are good choices. I would upgrade. It looks like your hardware is suffocating in there.
