First time build, need help

[kirillsk8tr]

well basically i decided to buy the parts to assemble my own thing.
i just wanted to know if all of these are compatible, i checked all the frequencies (fsb etc.) and ports (PCI-e2.0) that i need ( as far as i know ). can anyone tell me if this will work together, and if theres any combinations i should avoid?

Also, if you click on the motherboard link you will see that the ram frequency stands as 1333. does that mean i can only get 1333 mhz ram? or does that just mean that the highest frequency is 1333?

I only see DDR2 1200MHz RAM as the standard for the mobo you've linked to. There is no DDR2 RAM that runs at 1333MHz stock AFAIK. You may have the FSB and RAM frequencies confused.

As for your build, everything looks good, except for the fact that you don't need the X38 board if you're buying a 9600GT, since it supports only Crossfire. If you don't want to use a dual-GPU setup, go for a cheaper board like the GA-EP45-DS3L or the GA-P45-DS3R. Also, you can get the TX650 for slightly cheaper from here.

thanks for the fast reply,

yes i meant to say 1200. will lower ram frequencies still work with that mobo? because i can't find any good memory that would have a frequency of 1200Mhz?

also, where does it say that it supports crossfire, only? i think i might have missed that...

Yes, good quality DDR2 RAM from the 'Big Three" i.e. Corsair, Crucial and OCZ is guaranteed to work. I recommend Crucial's Ballistix kits from personal experience.
