1. No galaxy is one of the most unreliable brands, that's why they are so cheap. But generally speaking even if I hadn't told you that you can always tell by the reviews (that card has abysmal reviews). I may have spoken to soon though, 240 might be a good choice for you. The cheapest you can get a 250 for from a reputable brand is $135. This 240 is from a reputable brand and costs $100: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130530 The things I don't like about the 240 include its lack of SLI (doesn't matter since your mobo doens't support it), its lack of dx11 (will require that you spend a lot more money on an ati card to get this though), it only supports 1 display, and it may be difficult to find an aftermarket air cooler that works with it.
2. No you cannot mix and match brands of mobo and cpu, your cpu and mobo must both be the same brand. Ram will work on any mobo as long as it has the right numbers of pins, number of memory controllers (ddr, ddr2, ddr3), and the rated speed of the ram is within the speed range of the mobo.
3. Ugh....I will explain this in our next chat if you bring it up, just don't worry about it.
1. Yes HT can be OCed.
2. No you must use ddr3 with a ddr3 board.
3. Yes. Also latencies are modified from the bios, I'll explain that in our next chat.
