Who the **** is selling you OCZ RAM? OCZ stopped making RAM a year and a half ago.

I was comparing different version of Windows and doesn't seem worth it for me to get 7 Pro. An extra $100 over 7 Home, only extras are things I dont use.

It says or leading brand behind that, i just forgot to type it in.

Ive been a big fan of XP and still use XP. So my thoughts on the added Ram capabilities for "Future" is the reason i went pro. I run my PC's in the dirt. Then wipe em off and give them to family members who don't play games. My parents still use a P4 laptop i threw Ubuntu on, because it was faster then their desktop.

I remember taking 2 gig HDs out of pc's and using them as "Jump Drives" when i was a kid. Now 1.5 TB is a standard...So I am sure that 64G ram will be a standard soon, and the longer i can make my stuff last the better. Gettting 5 years out of a PC is good enough for me, then i donate it to the less fortunate people in my family.

We will see what happens with the parts that arent listed. I only paid 1300 out of pocket, the rest was from a returned gift. So i am not not much at a loss.

Still didn't comment on the build.

Thats a good point. 16GB max RAM for Home version of windows 7 and 192GB max RAM for Pro version.

I cannot comment on your build though, been way too long out of the tech industry.

Yes, I can't wait to see what she will do. Been on this PC i built back in 08. Would be nice to see some graphics again.

Yay got the PC in today....bitching fast. Will do some tests later.

Have not overclocked it yet, and not sure i will. I can run all 5 on high settings in stormwind with no Lag during heavy loads. I will run an LFR later. Processor jumps hoops on multitasking. lovin it.
