Gaming system for WoW mostly

Me personally id go with this and just call up and ask them to fill all the open spots with some quieter fans. The reason i did not add the zalman fans is because they are loud from what i've heard.

Originally posted by alexstrife1 That looks good, do you think going to 6 or 8 gigs would help some?

if your only playing games no, but if you any kind of multitasking or video editing/sound editing it could help. If this is strictly a gaming machine its not going to make a difference. If you had some extra coin though some more ram would prob be what i would add.

I honestly use the load screens as an excuse haha i was looking at an sd drive for the boot time reduction but this computer apparently now will be shared with my girlfriend and she tends to multibox and watch youtube whilst playing wow or such.

Another question is can you guys recommend a good UPS? i live in an area that tends to have random power blinks and freak storms and that was my biggest fear on my last computer...

uninterruptible power supply

I figure i should protect this investment quite a bit and i've read a bit on them but i would like first hand account. I live in arkansas so we get some pretty bad freak storms and brownouts.

I think i might have to just go for one of the larger ones and hope it works. My budget has been expanded to 1700 so i am going with 8 gigs of ram hopefully it will make my girflriend happy

Due to the monitor being a tv i figure i'd need a large one to begin with.
