basically no issues with ram or psu. the gb is more than enough and the psu has had no problems :--)
and thanks for the suggestions! my friend said the exact same stuff so it seems like a must-do now. dont really care much for what brand i buy, just tryna get whats best. the cpu is pretty good and somewhat cheap (considering some of the other cpu prices) and the bigger motherboard would help a bunch as well (i barely fit my graphics card in, and it covers several other things on the motherboard that would be nice to have). got an old giant case so i think once i get that giant motherboard and new cpu ill switch over to that.
