    I was thinking about building a new PC for a while but never got to it. I am not sure which choice below will benefit me me more. Both will be with a AMD Athlon II X3 425 2.7GHz.

    GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128392
    with
    Crucial Ballistix 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148325

    or

    GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128387&Tpk=Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P
    with
    Crucial Ballistix 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800

    Tough choice but I think the DDR2 memory would be good enough in terms of speed and if you need more you can always overclock it.
