Hey guys, I'm having a super hard time figuring out if this RAM will be good enough. I've seen the same (I think) RAM for $400 more, so is this cheap stuff? Also, how is the motherboard? Is a 1680x1050 resolution little in comparison with such a graphics card? Are there any other brands in GPU's I should look at besides BFG? Finally, will this all fit into the case I've picked out and still have good air flow?
