CPU(t9500, t9300 is a cheaper option, t9400 wont work due to fsb speed difference) (Wow, the CPU prices have doubled since i made this video):

RAM(ddr2 667mhz, 4 gb ddr2 modules are expensive due to being rare, i bought 2 modules for a somewhat reduced price):

SSD(probably any sata ssd will work, buy what is cheapest as it cannot run at full sata3 speed anyway in this mac):for example Kingston UV400 or A400, or if you have an old but working one, i recommend using that, i had a used PM871
