Please check my first finished build ever!
Last response: in Systems
Hey all,
I've been posting a lot recently because I've been trying to figure out my first ever build. I was really nervous before, but all the help that I've gotten has made me feel a lot more confident about the whole project![:bounce:]( ":bounce:")
. Basically, this is the final step before I press *confirm* for the purchase. I'd like to have everyone take a look and make sure that I have all the necessary and compatible parts to have a working computer. This is intended to be an everyday mid-range gaming/media computer. This list should include all the parts that I need (besides OS, keyboard, mouse, speakers), so if there is something missing PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I'm a bit concerned about cables and other small parts that I might have forgotten.
If you have any further comments about this rig such as what you think it will excel/suck at/value overall, I would really like to hear all that as well.
Thanks!

Would the following RAM be a suitable replacement for this rig?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
And if I wanted to increase the total amount to 6 GB of RAM, would I just add another stick of 2 GB dual channel RAM?

If you want more than 4GB the next step would be 8GB, 2 more 2GB sticks.
To run in dual channel you will have to have equal amount of sticks and you could run 2+1GB per channel in four sticks.
