hey guys, my Cousin saw my computer when i got it and started saving up for one, hes come up with around $800. He wants to play Fallout ( 3 and new vegas when it comes out ), star craft 2 and other games, but those are the main ones. he doesnt want any fancy bells or whistles, so no side window or flashy lights.

this is what i have come up with, its a bit out of budget, i need to get it to $800. thanks guys.

No, that's DDR3 1333 and the ram I linked to is DDR3 1600. And the ram I linked to is only $88.99 after the rebate.
