4GB's is fine, 64bit 7 requires at least 2, only uses about 1GB if configure it right and keep it clean

It is decent, but get more RAM like 8 gigs... Also get a sound card.. I have a titanium sound blaster.. It does great things for your sound!

Looks Good But Little Bit More RAM Would Be Better, Depends On If This Is JUST A Gaming Rig Or Everyday Use For More Applications And Other Stuff

Doesn't really matter what it's for, gaming or app use, 4GB's is more than enough since he's doing dual channel, if it were triple it would be a hole other story.

With the hardware selected he should clear of any bottle necks. Though I would agree to getting a sound card, onboard isn't too bad these days, but an actual card doing the work is always better
