Asus P5N32-E SLI PLUS M/B
2GB Team X-Treem Dark 1066
XFX nVidia GeForce 8800GTS

Still running XP

I just want more RAM for when GTA V comes out. Other than that I think my rig will hold up nicely. I can always clock my CPU a bit...apparently I can expect 2.8 or 3GHz without additional cooling, so all I need is RAM. Think 8Gb in total should be enough. Running Max Payne 3 on High with all the filtering and antialising on now

8gigs should be perfect..Pc international and Cyberdyne got rely good prices :)..Cyberdyne deliver which is cool..tho what kinda sucks is the fact that DDR2 has become alota more pricey than the top end Ram..cos they don produce alot anymore

I wouldn't mind a backlit keyboard but most of them are waaayyyyy to expensive

i buy straight from logitec US, once a year we get a clearance stock list.

I paid 1.2k for my g19.
