Recently my cpu/mobo fried, not sure which, and they are well past RMA and can't really find a place to buy the same components (q6600). So figured it was time to update. Currently running AMD 64 x2 4200 and DDR400 and man is everything sluggish.
Looking for best value for dollar upgrades. How do these look together?

Kingston HyperX T1 Series 8GB (Might be able to shave off a few more dollars if I went 4gb)

The most intense thing I do on my PC is gaming so put that into consideration. Also have a Zalman 9700 cpu fan, which I believe is compatible, so overclocking shouldn't be much of an issue. Thanks.
