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.as...0GA-MA790X-UD4P
with
Crucial Ballistix 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148212

Thanks

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.
