Nice Bismarck! :)

Sounds good. You're going to have a superb gaming rig with that. 8)

I'm looking forward to upgrading my memory up to 8Gb later this month. I'm thinking of getting Ballistix, which has had some good reviews. If anyone has experience of this brand let me know.

Booting, downloading and installs are already saving me a lot of time.

I found that the biggest upgrade was going from a typical mechanical hard drive to an SSD drive. Nothing like being able to use the computer 5 seconds after logging into Windows!

Bismarck, what specific model do you have for your processor?  I looked for intel processors that were i7 with 8 cores, but could not find such a model.  I am starting to look for a pc myself, so was curious.
