i would try to get the 6GB RAM pack since ur using vista, unless ur really trying to save money (but i dont see why if ur spending alot on the rest of the PC).

also, make sure u get the combo deal from newegg (although maybe thats y u picked that PSU in the first place) http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.144428

i am on a very tight budget and that was the 1 thing i really had to cut. but yea i know about the psu combo, there is also a combo with one of the graphics cards and the mobo that is an extra 30 off i believe

You will need an aftermarket HSF Cooler. The Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme 1366 RT CPU Cooler @ $59.99 is a great price.

Also Buy.com for the next few days, havs the Corsair CMPSU-1000HX ATX12V &EPS12V Power Supply - CMPSU-1000HX on sale after rebate for $174.99.

Plus if you want to wait, the GTX 295 will be launched on Jan 8th, exactly on the day when CES2009 starts.. Which will feature two GPUs of 55nm GT200. And the number of stream processors is 480 (240×2), not 216×2 as we reported. Besides, its memory bus width is 896 bit (448bitx2), and memory size is 1792MB DDR3 (896MBx2).

Hope this helps you out some.

the RAM u picked runs at the maximum voltage recommended by intel before u risk frying ur i7 CPU. if u dont overclock, this is not a problem. if u do, try to get better RAM.


and u can try saving some money by getting a similar (but cheaper) PSU like these:
