Additional Comments:
I do plan on getting my own Corsair RAM off Newegg.com, but I'm not sure how much extra I should get. The lowest option at cyberpower is 2gs so I already have that much. 2 sticks 1 g each. The corsair ram on Newegg is half the price.
I am looking to put together a gaming machine from Cyberpowerpc.com that works well and will work well for the next few years. Doesn't have to be top of the line, but don't want to be lagging in another year either. My current setup has been overheating so I picked a case that has plenty of airflow, but I'd also like to have a quiet PC. Is noise reduction noticeable or even needed?
I'm open to any recommendations, suggestions of personal preferences or opinions on upgrades or downgrades.
Thanks
