Sounds good.

Probably want to max out the RAM if you can afford it.

Pay cash for it.{JMO}

Get a big monitor too.

Many will say an SSD to put the OS on if nothing else. Sure looks like a sweet system though.

Christmas present to yourself? :)

I upgraded to 8 GBs of RAM from 4.
I figured it was better to have it than not have it & need it.
Merry Xmas. :)

just throwing this out there..

if you plan on just games with this system don't waste more money on ram.. i can tell you right now i have 16 gigs of ram windows 8.1 and you can't even get games or anything to use the extra ram.. windows is currently using 3 gigs right now.. and when i game i have "never" seen it go any higher or use my ram anywhere near more than 8 gigs.. so really think about it..

unless you just have money and you don't care.. of course just waste it.. but know that "regular" windows users and games and applications aren't even written/coded to use such ammounts of ram.. so it's literally pointless... let me tell you..

truth be told, - lately i have used my extra ram for "ramdisks" .. and install a game or something to that but it's only temporary till you restart.. cause its your ram.. so thats all i can think to do with extra ram.. its pointless...
