    Maybe I don't need it but still want it. The "it" is anything that will make my system better. Here are the specs of my system.

    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz 2.79 GHz x 4
    4.00GB RAM (3.50 GB usable)
    32-bit Operating System
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275
    (Nvidia 3d Vision Kit + HPA2 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones)




    Please take a look and any recommendations on what you think would make it better with gaming quality and performance in mind would be appreciated.

    * 64-bit Windows 7 Pro (to be able to install more RAM and use some of the 64-bit application speeds)
    * add more RAM (6 or 8 GB), DDR3, of course and >2000MHz w/ heatsinks
    * drop the i5 and get a i7 for the 1366 Socket (so that you can pop in a 6 core CPU when they come out) + aftermarket cooling package
    * get a GeForce from the 400-th series - because of DX11 feats and performance
    * 1000W 80+ rated PSU

    I am aiming for a high-end-ish machine here, but, hey, you didn't put on any price ceiling...
