Not at all. You can use ddr2 on that mb. I was curious you noticed it was ddr2. If you can save money on ddr2 them go for it. Ddr3 is current and cheap enough now and if there is a good bargain you can get them . I'm posting from phone now but il be back this evening. Have to watch what I post from mobile with auto correct ...I might unintentionally say strange things ...lol
Nice ! looking forward to see this build ... Post away This is great. Can really help someone considering a DYI. I see you went for the K
The i5 2500 was actually more expensive than the i5 2500k, so it was an easy choice. Only if life was like this more often
I need to clarify I was speaking of the graphics card memory. Independent of the MB ram. I did not intend to make you think system ddr2 memory can be used in this board in place of ddr3 system memory.
Boli, I've stated in the last few pages at what I'm looking at. I was pretty firm on the CPU, mobo and the RAM. I have purchased the CPU and mobo, but if you have Amy suggestion for any of the other components, I very open to suggestions (esp. if there's a good deal going )

Tiki, I got it. However, for me, this is the thorn in the back. I think I'll need your expertise on the GPU (and the casing). Thanks again for a great thread; it's coming in really helpful
