gainesville, fl
patriot sector 5 ddr3 1333mhz. 8 gb (2x4gb)

used on-board video 6 months , purchased asus gtx560 direct cu ii. both worked fine ubuntu 11.10 64...

if getting higher end card gtx560, (and if considering overclocking it) want larger power supply, 600 or 650 w. if not overclocking it, antec 500 w earth watts runs system, smallest size want consider...

don't forget motherboard @ end of it's life cycle , being replaced faster motherboards. if looking parts low price, try 1 on sale.

if first build not ssd drive stick 1 hard drive easier.
luck , god bless johnny3 65++
