Is there any benefit to spending extra coin on the higher Mhz RAM for gaming? Is 4GB of RAM the optimal amount for gaming, or is it actually worth pushing the boat out on this score.

For thread purposes put the graphics card in the system nown as a GTX 480.
 
Of course it has 6GB - I've been scouring around the net and in my haste to ask the question, posed the wrong one lol.

However, if I did choose to go for this system, I'm sure 6GB is more than enough at this time. Just often wondered what effect the amount of RAM, and it's speed, has on gaming.
