8 or 16 set is a must go for. You can get it at a very good price.

At the moment if you are on a budget ATI 6950 (AMD) would be a nice choice but others would say NVidia. Which ever is the better deal i would go for it. Stay away from the makers that are known to screw shit up with their video cards.

XFX for AMD cards and EVGA for Nvidia is what i look for. Lifetime warranty and reliable

For the moment im gonna take the 16 Gb set and maybe later i would upgrade it to 32 and about the videocard i saw a XFX 6970 in a nice price around $319 after rebates wich is cheaper than that Asus... =)

Id rather have a 570 than the 6970 but the 6970 will still get the job done. I have the same ram set love it not that there is anything to dislike about working ram lol.

I roll this 570 - Newegg.com - MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card My particular unit has a been a good little overclocker and runs cool and relatively quite.
