I play mostly FPS and dabble in WoW once in a while. Despite the WoW i chose the gtx 295 because i don't want to sacrifice performance in the fps games and i don't mind turning down settings in an mmo. Almost immediately following my rig arriving i'm going to order this ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226033 and install it myself.

	Same here, it looks almost identical to my rig. You can upgrade your HDD in the future if you want.
