motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
ram: 16GB

Thats quite nice, though I'd recommend a Radeon card to go with the AMD processor.

It makes no difference
I know what you think. I know what people think that Intel=nvidia and amd=radeon.
It's not true.

I don't know I wanted 16GB because it would beat next gen consoles RAM.

I should get 7970?



I think I buy might a 1TB Drive to store all of the games I buy..

Great system! How much did it cost?

um I don't know I spent at least $1,000 :o

No videogame will use more than 3 GB of RAM, maybe 4 if the game is The Witcher 2, so no gaming PC needs 16 GB RAM.

I suggest getting another hard drive, like a WD caviar green 1-3TB and yeah like the 7970 but amd is about to skip 8000 series and drop the 9000 series by october so I do suggest wait because prices drop for part fast and it is in october so you won't miss BF4.
