OCZ Platinum DDR3 (3x2GB) are about $154 on newegg and have some of the lowest timings I've seen. 7-7-7-24.

Also, for 500 GB platters, you may also want to consider either the 500 GB or 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 drives. They are cheaper than the Western Digitals and very slightly faster.

And I agree with Jack about the video card. If you can add $100 to your budget, you could score a HD Radeon 5850 which has directx 11 support and is generally much more powerful.

Yeah i think will go with the 500 gb HDD can you guys link me?. Oh the graphics card choice i totally forgot to explain my self. Well what I have calculated is next year there will he better dx 11 cards from both companies.Nividia still has to put one out so I don't want to missed out on DX 11 so for this year a 260 is more then enough no?:D Next year ill upgrade the gpu since its the thing that effects fps the most

if you take the 5850, or the 5870 you don't miss out on Dx 11 since both support Dx 11.

Take a 5870, for about $380 and you'll be comfortable for about an year, maybe more.
or, take a 5850 use it for a few months, and then add another in crossfire.

As Dx 11 becomes more mainstream, games might become more intensive, but there won't be any added features that your current Dx 11 card won't have.
