Some extraneous questions, has anyone ever had problems with video cards that range between 510 and 1g, like the 896mb I listed? I heard rumours that they could sometimes cause compatibility issues with some games…

Also, what do you think of DDR3 Ram? I know it’s the only thing compatible with the i7 so I sort of had no choice when it came to DDR2 (which would’ve been much cheaper).

Lastly, the Seasonic 650wt…do you think it’s enough to power the system I’m building?
