Eh, the RAM seems a bit iffy IMO, I'd go with a more reliable brand such as corsair.
[QUOTE=Smug Bastard;29162986]Eh, the RAM seems a bit iffy IMO, I'd go with a more reliable brand such as corsair.[/QUOTE] Patriot isn't iffy at all, they're a great brand.
I don't think the RAM brand is an issue, but considering that's $400 under budget you should get 8gb of it.
[QUOTE=SataniX;29168807]I don't think the RAM brand is an issue, but considering that's $400 under budget you should get 8gb of it.[/QUOTE] Don't just spend money to spend them. 8GB's not a bad idea, but he should throw them after an SSD and maybe a better CPU or GPU. Also, XMS3 is as cheap as that Patriot RAM. I don't know whether it's better, but it's looks more exclusive (refer to the exclusive shit comic).
rest of the money is for monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers

if i keep my build, get dual channel and change to a MSI GTX 570 will everything still be compatible? cause i do like your build, im just looking for some different parts this is what i have picked out as of now Case - [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146068[/url] psu - [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006[/url] MoBo - [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130582[/url] RAM - [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231308[/url] - changed CPU - [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072[/url] - changed GPU - [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150506[/url] - change to a MSI GTX 570?
