Reccomendation on my new computer?

[linie182]

I am building a new computer for somewhere around $1000 to $1500. These are the items I have picked out and I was hoping people had any suggestions on changes I could make to get the best performance out of my computer without changing the price too much.

I already have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS, which I will use in this computer, and all the optical drives, so these are the only things I need suggestions about.

That computer sounds good. It will be able to handle most things you throw at it (AOE3, BF2 and many games that will come out in the next 6 months).

i would say get 2*512 so you can run in dual channel, and thats it

Nice system setup there all good brands.. but like pzerofgh or w/e (lol) said, it wouldnt hurt to throw in another RAM stick.
