Hello I am looking to upgrade my current system. I made a big mistake buying the processor first, because my current mobo didn't accept it.
I bought a core 2 quad q8400 95w not 65w and i need a new mobo that supports it. My current RAM is not enough and to slow so i will also be upgrading that. I have about a $150 budget. So tell me if these parts are good enough and work with one another. If not give me some suggestions. Thanks in advance.
Parts I'm currently looking at.
MOBO:Newegg.com - ASUS P5G41-M LE/CSM LGA 775 Intel G41 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM: I'm buying one stick to start and maybe another one down the road
Newegg.com - Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 4GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model 991762
Current other hardware
