First Gaming Rig Build

8GB or ram is fine. Take bigger HDD seagate is same as samsung spinpoint was.
Then SSD is what makes thigs go faster.

Samsung Spinpoint f3 is only 250gb for 50$.

The 500gb WD Blue's are 60$ if you want more storage.

An ssd would boost load times considerably if you want to throw one of those in as well.

Do it like this:

Are you positive I only need 8 GB of RAM? I don't want to have to upgrade later or anything like that.

8Gb is absolutely fine for the normal user. Unless you really feel you need 16Gb, 8Gb will last you fine, and upgrading shouldn't be too difficult.

In a couple years ,yes you will need an upgrade, but then again you will need to upgrade all those parts in a couple of years.

8gbs will do you well. 16gbs right now is overkill.

what do you guys think I should do as fas as PSU's go?

Trying to save some money though...Another thread lead me to this PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... thoughts?

My experience with Rosewill PSus has been bad, so I don't recommend it.
