Additional Comments: my head hurts from all these weeks of forum searching.

i would like to take this opportunity, as this is my first post, to thank everyone that makes all of this possible, i have read endless amounts of threads here in the past an consider Tom's Hardware one of the best sites for 'computer talk'. KUDOS TO YOU EVERYONE!!

Ps. my biggest mind boggling issue is the whole i5 vs i7, dual vs triple memmory, i just dont know what to buy.

Please advise ,

thanks in advance,
