Good advice, its all about getting the best bang for ur buck. U can buy a video card now for $200 or one for $400 but the $200 card will play anything for the next year and a half at max settings and then n 2 years u can get a card better than the $400 card for $200.
If u wanna set a budget around $650 I would recommend going AMD processor. Their processors have stock
heatsinks/thermal paste that work fine so u don't have to buy either of those

Yep.
For some reason, people have it in their head that they need like 8+ gigs of RAM, which is stupid. Unless you plan on doing video editing, a gaming machine has no real use for that much RAM. I never see 3GB being used at once and I multitask quite a bit. I'd say maybe go with 6 if you're not on a super tight budget but I see no reason right now to get 8+ GB of RAM. Cut and save whereever you can if you're on a tight budget, as I was. Having additional RAM doesn't speed up your computer if you're not using what you have already.
