Youd be better off getting good ram now. like mine or other TCCQ samsung ram.

should i spend a little more and get a 6800 nu ?

It'd get crucial value ram instead of that corsair crap. Corsair's value select is horrible.

Check the fs/t forums and see if you can score a 6800GT from someone who's going to a 7800. The 6800GT is basically the same card as the 6800U, just clocked lower, but it normally can be overclocked to at least 6800U speed itself! I would say that is the best option.

I don't know about the X800GT. Haven't heard good things. Apparently the X800XL is the one to go for right now.

Replace the NEC ND-3540A with a BenQ DW1640

Also, isn't there a 2x1024MB OCZ value kit around somewhere for less than that Corsair?
