You can easily drop to 4GB of RAM, this allows the inclusion of a Dell IPS panel screen.

That's one tasty set-up and yes 4GB is absolutely fine for gaming. You can always purchase a couple more sticks in future if you feel the need

Yeah that would be pretty good. Can always get the RAM on my next pay check anyway, no need to hurry on that. However a good screen would make a big difference!

I was always somewhat reluctant to invest in a nice screen but so glad I did. It would be silly to have such a nice gaming rig output to a poor quality device (in comparision).

Enjoy your new rig man

Enaver · 13 Jun 2011 at 16:21

All done, however as i already my first order and was doing by finance i couldnt get the screen just yet. That shall be next months treat. All done though!

3D gaming? On a 570, I'd be tempted.

neoglow · 13 Jun 2011 at 16:54

Definately go Sandybridge CPU and Mobo.
P67 chipset is good or the new Z68 chipsets also.

Or, wait a little longer for AMD Bulldozer maybe?
