I dont want a differnt operating system because i allready have vista ultimate, and i dont need to be able to overclock the RAM because the motherboard im getting has a 1:1 ratio so the RAM will be underclocked if anything. But i do agree with you guys i will only get 4GB. So now my Build is;
Corsair HX520watt psu -Allready have
Core 2 Duo e8400- Hooefully will get past 4GHZ
Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R - Apparently quite a good overclocking board, even works with crossfire
Silverstone SST-LC17 htpc case - goes well with my amp and speakers
4GB of Apacer DDR2 800 - Cheap ram (around $80US for 4gb) i know but it has lifetime warranty so...
500GB HDD - Allready have, might get another for RAID
ASUS Quietrack SATA DVD writer - Allready have
8800GTS 512 - need help choosing one from here Ascent Technology | New Zealand Computer Hardware and Software Online Shop , or should i wait for a good 9 series card?
CNET wireless pci adapter - Allready have
Ultra-120 Extreme
Vista ultimate x64
22" samsung 226BW
Thanks for the help any more suggestions?
