Your links are broken.

8800gt is old technology and the 9800gt is starting to get dated, i wouldnt recommend either. What types of games are you playing?

Do not get 3gb of ram as it will not run in dual channel and you will see a performance hit. 4gb kits are cheap and are the appropriate choice.

Blu ray is only worth it if you have a large enough monitor or tv to take advantage of the high resolution.

Blu-ray is still quite pricy, so unless you have the money and a passion for movies I'd wait and stick with standard DVD for the time being.

I would choose the 9800GT over the 8800GT if you prefer nVidia and can't afford to spend any extra, however for roughly the same price you could get a HD4850 which is not so dated.

and cheaper then 9800GT .
