Its an i7 so you should definitely get a set of triple channel ram, you need atleast 3GB for Vista but on an i7 you might be better of with 6. Get a better power supply than the thermaltake one

Significantly higher quality and also significantly cheaper. Also what resolution are you using and what are you using your computer for that affects what you should use for a graphics card and if an i7 is overkill for your needs.

i am curious to ask u a question,where do u live and are these prices in american dollars ?

You can get the i7-920 at microcenter for 219.99$ Depends if you live close to one or not. 365$ is overkill for the 920, i suggest shopping around.

+1 to nickhoff all these items are overpriced

anyways 1 4870 will not play most games at that resolution at max with full fsaa and af

I live in Argentina, these prices are in American dollars... These are (far) the best prices I can get here.

Here hardware costs between %50 and %100 more than at Newegg.

Should I change something else or only the ram ?

 

[computersss]

change the ram with 3gb or 6 gb and if you can expand your budget a little get the ati 4890 1 gb it is better or get a 4850x2 2gb
