Thanks for the memory advice dashock. I'll try to buy one of those kits. I was looking at the Ascent PC2-8500 kit yesterday on NCIX but it seems they are out of stock. is there really a big difference in performance between the redlines PC2-8000 and the ascent Pc2-8500?
If I can save money somewhere in that setup, i could buy a nicer screen like the samsung t220.
tazer-[X]: what would be the advantage of getting a x-48 mobo if I don't plan to go crossfire? I think that a dual card setup would be total overkill if I plan to play with a 22'' screen. Maybe if I wanted to go for a 30'', but it is not the case.
In terms of video card, I still plan to get the evga gtx260. It performs approximately similar to the 4870 but there is a deal at NCIX that gives free shipping for the entire order if I buy it. That alone could save me like 150 $. since I live in Montreal.
