    Another question.

    Currently I have 3 sticks of 2 GB RAM. My mother board has 6 slots, so 3 slots are unused.

    If I bought the GSkill RAM above, which is 3 x 4 GB = 12 GB, could I just plug them into the 3 empty slots?

    That would bring my total to 18 GB.

    the nvidia 460 (1G) is the sweet spot for bang for buck.

    Check the motherboard owners manual if you can do that 18G thing.

    Overclocking is not worth it.

    I never recommend mixing and matching memory, it can have a negative impact on your setup.

    560 Ti replaces the 460, just came out last week.

    1. Depends on what you want.
    2. More ram is often good.
    3. DISAGREE!
    4. Stop pimping your goddamn site.

    Fixed.

    As for the OP's question, I would recommend an Nvidia GTX 560 ti (or 570 / 580). I would not suggest going with anything cheaper/slower, as it wouldn't help much over your existing 260.
