Re: Budget PC Gaming

RAM: 2x2 GB Brands: G Skill, Patriot, or OCZ DDR2 800 or DDR2 1066?

OP: Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832116488
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832116483
I don't understand what the difference between these two are besides the costs.

Case: Antec or Cooler Master. Antec 300 or Cooler Master Centurion
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129042
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119068
There are 2 other versions of this product but this is the basic form of the case.

My System

Re: Budget PC Gaming

DDR2 800 (PC6400) Those brands are good as is Corsair.
The first link is Home Premium the second link is Home Basic.
If you must use Vista go with the Home Premium. Persoanly, I'd use Windows 7 for now. It's Vista without the bloat and works much better.
Both of those cases are nice but I would go with the Antec for $5 more.
