Please dont go for the 24..... 4-6 gigs of rams is more than enough unless you plan on being a HEAVY video editor/audio producer..

Its a nice build but in my opinion is over priced for air. A corsair h50 or something similar would do a better job while being quiter and cheaper. You must login or register to view this content.
I'm really not a fan of nvidia. A 5870 would be better a better choice and runs much cooler. ATI is where its at in GPUs these days.

Edit: Also, you shouldnt buy 1333 ram. 1600+ is alot better

The ram thoe if he did buy 24gig would take alot of streess of the cpua and gpu meaning games will not nescareley run faster but less errors and be able to do only a few things were he could easly take full advantage of Multitasking and stuff

BTW i have a nvidia geforce gtx240 and i love it and its very smooth and you could easyly run all your games on max fps and quality

Id have to agree with you on everything but the end.

Sure 1600+ Ram is faster, BUT they CAN be alot more unstable at higher speeds, plus the higher the speed, USUALLY the higher the CAS Latency. But if you do decide to get Ram faster than 1600, remember to buy from a reputable company (Example : Corsair)
