I'm speccing out a machine with my total at £1400, it's currently at £1337 (might leave it at that price just so it says leet, lol) and I'm wondering whether it's worth popping in another 3 gig of ram or getting a 280. The 280 seemed to offer a few more fps possibly but pretty close and according to the infamous Corsair article, 6gb of ram is a big boon. However they're using 2 graphics cards so the cpu and ram are more limiting plus a slightly faster cpu ayway.

I'm leaning a little towards the ram just at the moment but majority rules and all so vote what you think.
No suggestions on other upgrade options unless you can find ram or gpu to not take it over 1400 the current ram price is £53 for the 3gig and £194.65 for the 260. UK only.
