    Hey after looking above, I would like to say that it is all okay and excellent compatibility wise, DDR2 RAM will continue working. I feel that DDR3 simply as an eye-catcher in actuality, what it suggests is "supports DDR3, excluding no requirement to throw out your older stuff up till now". If it was a scrape build although, DDR3 would include my suggestion anyhow, just for the reason that it's cheaper compared to DDR2 at the present; production lines move on.

    The 8400 is adequate for contemporary games at low settings. In addition if you intend to do gaming, the 8500GT would not cut it for you. If you do not, then its superior stuff. The 8500 without doubt is not a inferior GPU. I am not saying the 8500 is adequately competent of running up to date games, I am sticking resolutely with purchase neither. 5770 and 6850 are both all right. It depends on the game, resolution, in addition to detail whether the 460 or 6850 is a enhanced performer.

    You're present GPU will be okay for your audio work, noticeably. I would advise that whenever, you upgrade your GPU to somewhat more current - 5770, GTX460, 6850 it will be superior if you have the financial plan. Whatever thing in continuation will be very changing, prospect releases may effortlessly not even function at all. In case you are at a dead end PCI system running Intel GMA 900 graphics, then the 8400GS is the merely light you can observe devoid of spending allot for a novel system,

    The 8500GT is not the most excellent in the market, I obtained it ages ago, I have got a buddy who makes use of somewhat of alike speeds and he's in fact been able to play crysis on medium. The one I am saving up for is moreover a XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB otherwise a Sapphire HD6850 1GB, I can acquire the HD5770 for 100 at the same time as the HD6850 is around 60 more luxurious. I have shared my knowledge with you, I hope this helps you. Take Care.
