8GB is a waste for gaming. 4 is plenty. 4GB shouldn't cost you more than $70. If it does, you're overspending.

How big is your monitor?

The quad core is a waste too.

its an acer 22" but i also plan to keep this computer for the next 3 years and maybe just change the videocard in 1.5 to 2 years from now this is why i picked 8gb since it was 60$ more

2 4870s is serious overkill for that resolution.
