Okay, so the minimum wage in MA just got raised, and now insted of making $7.50 an hour I am gatting $8.75 an hour. I also have finished paying for my new mtn bike, and car. So now we get to build up Sheila 8) and here is my wish list.

OCZ Gold edition 2GB PC2 4200
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820227045

eVGA 7900GT
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130281

Basically the reason for the upgrade is because of this stuped new keyboard. Before I was perfectly happy in my oblivian of not knowing that I was maxing out my RAM whilst gameing, or only getting say an average of 45FPS on CSS HDR maps. So now I'm going to go out and spend the $528 (basically one months pay) so that I can regain my status in the top 5 PCs on the forums, and so that I can also get my 110 average frames on just about anything back (stuped HDR and F.E.A.R killing my FPS).

Anyway if any of you have any suggestions on any other RAM or card, I would like to hear them. Remember that I am getting DDR2 so that my switch to AM2 or 975X is seemless. Also I'm not too impressed with PC 4000 ram timings.

Cheers
Cameron

PS: As soon as that RAM is in my case 4.1Ghz on the CPU will be back 8) Also I will be getting a Zalman VFN-700LED CU for the 7900GT
