Haha. Well I think im gonna go with 4gb then.

I now have my case, my lights, and my fans + the controller should be here tomorrow. The next thing I wanna get is my motherboard and power supplies. Could you let me know which would be the best so I can go ahead and put them in the shopping cart so I'll be ready once I get the money?


Edited:
Hey. I was also told by a friend that since I have slots for 5 hard drives, I should maybe get more then one so I can diversify my files, which would also help my pc's speed. Instead of having just one big Hard Drive.
I also want two monitors, so I wanted to know how I could run two on the same system to display two different things you know :p?

Swansen

well, you only need one video card to run two monitors, it would just be in the software for the video card. Well, getting two hard drives won't speed up you machine, it will only speed up the computer if the HDD's are in a RAID, or if the HDD with the OS installed on it is a higher than normal rpm hard drive.

Oh ok good. Here is what I was looking at for the video card:

EVGA 256-P2-N765-AR GeForce 8600GTS 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

I am still looking for a really good motherboard. Thats what I am getting next. Some of my friends was telling me to get one with something with Over clocking... lol

Swansen

I wouldn't, its not worth it, and your not going to be able to run DX10 games the way you want to, the only DX10 graphics cards from Nvidia i would get are the 8800 gtx and gts 640mb version. If you want to go ATI, i would get ether the Radeon HD 2900 1gb or 512 version.

I just want to get the best for my pc. Lol. But um, can you give me a link to the ones you think is better? And if possible, a link to a really good motherboard that would support 4gb ram.
