on reading the article at uk gaming i guess p67 is the way to go

how much ram should i get
4 gig ddr3 should be enough right?

I dont plan on getting a SSD .Is it a (very)bad decision?

Also
How long will this system suffice without any further upgrade
ie how long can i play new game titles (even at lowest settings) before i need to get that 2nd graphics card

Getting an SSD is completely up to you 4GB is enough but if you can afford it since its so cheap go for the 8GB (2x4GB) dual channel kit that is 1.5V

Initially I was leaning towards 8GB
but one of my friends convinced me that it would not be utilized in my system
Is he wrong?

what do you think about my last question (ie How long will this system suffice without any further upgrade )?

 

[Emelth]

System will probably last 2 years without an upgrade all depending on how graphic intensive games become in the future

He isnt wrong to a point but most builds now of days since ram is so cheap we get 8GB when we build them. If your budget is tight stick to the 4GB if you got it to spare grab the 8GB thats the way most people look at it
