Final Advice and Questions Prior to Purchase

Estimated Purchase by the end of the week if all goes according to plan. I had posted earlier and had great advice and help and wanted to repost for final updates and questions.

Looking to purchase a new 24 inch LED monitor to play at 1920x1080.

Still trying to hover around $3000, but save where I can to pay for the monitor.
Config: 704564
$2892

My usage will still primarily to play online gaming BF3 mainly for now as well as upcoming PC release in the FPS genre hopefully at high resolutions, some photo editing in the near future. And general browsing the internet and completing basic tasking for work.

Currently have not moved into my new place with high speed, so for now I am operating with satellite internet. While it is faster than dial-up, but the delayed communication time prevents actual online gaming at this point in time.  So if something new is about to be released that I am unaware of, I am willing to wait.

I was contemplating upgrading the memory from 8 to 16 just in the event of heavier photoshop usage, but decided I will deal with delays in function as it will not be that common unless I get advice otherwise.

I know that I should at least get Windows Professional 64bit, but is there any benefit to going to Ultimate?

I am also going to be asking for the additional top mounted case fan as I had found out was possible via this forum and getting the extra warranty if I purchase in time.

Also, the free shirt which I just realized I forgot.

Thanks in advance

Purchase delayed for at least 2 weeks

Just some potential changes in my financial situation that may or may not happen here in the near future so I just have to wait. Still determined to purchase though.  Worst case scenario the components may get a few dollars cheaper while I wait.
