So I read an article with Maximum PC and saw a pretty nice build that I would like to build myself. Only problem is they didn't add any graphics card and I would really like to have it. I'm just starting to get into PC building so please talk to me like im a 15 year old.
Here are the specs,
Case: NZXT Source 210 elite
PSU: Corsair CX500
Mobo: AMD A10-6800k
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
GPU: Radeon HD 8670D
RAM: 2x 4GB kingston HyperX KHX16C9B1BK2/8
SSD: 60GB Mushkin Chronos MKNSSDCR60GB-7
HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-S223
OS Windows 8 64-bit OEM

Here are my questions/ requests:
I would like to bring the RAM up to 2X8GB but do I really need to be doing this? What purpose will this serve me? I just want to build a great gaming computer that will last me for a good 7 years or so. I've heard that if you boast up the RAM that your game will load faster and have better performance overall.
I would also like to get at least one graphics card here. Maybe even duel-graphics. My question is, do I need a graphics card seems how this build have a prebuilt one? If I should get one, then would it be better to get one "big boy" graphics or duel? The most im willing to spend for graphics card is up to $200 each card. If you could please give me the exact name that would be great. Another question that is realated to this is, can any AMD graphics card be put into this seems how i have a AMD CPU?
I would like to bring up my 1TB HDD to maybe a 1TB SSD or hell maybe even a 2x1TB SSD. Will a SSD really be faster for loading games? I know it is much faster to at least put the OS on a small SSD but what about games? And if I do what to get a 3TB HDD, does it matter what brand i get or what kind? If so, why?
And now my final question, can I put a Windows 7 into this build? Im not a big fan of Windows 8. Maybe I will think about Windows 8.1 though.
Thank you very much for your time. I apprecite it greatly. Like I said, I am still new to this PC building so please explain in detail what is going on. I have been reading up on my PC hardware like crazy though. Learned a lot.
