July 10, 201213 yr Stick to Corsair or GSkil or well known brands with 1600 speed ...not sure how much Gig Memory you are looking for for 4Gigs you could get for around $24 for 8 Gigs (2 x 4)speed 1600 memory you could for around $45. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233144 Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
July 10, 201213 yr Get an I5 2500K or 3570K and put what you save towards a board that will allow overclocking (P67, Z68 or Z77) Also get a GTX460 instead of that 550Ti
