I haven't built a PC in some years, so I could use some advice from anyone who
has recently.
Scored the following items from Freecycle:
3 HDD's, SATA, 300GB each ( Internal )
Kingston HyperX 12GB (6 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C8D3K3/6GX
Just find one on Newegg that takes your processor and memory, and has
SATA cnxns. Check the comments on them, though I think most are pretty
good these days. Newegg is good about returns too if one craps out (I
have done that).
