What games do you play other than gta iv? Also monitor specs?

Do you really need us to tell you that it's good?  Because, ummmm, IT'S GOOD.

 

Monitor(s)?  Case?  Optical drive?  Because I recommend a Blu-ray drive.  Just to complete the package.

You could probably spend a little less and get dual monitors going but, its just my opinion.

I am pretty jealous, but you will for sure enjoy gaming. Also, is that much ram necessary? A lot of games don't even fully utilize 8GB.

I see it as future proofing...I did the same thing 2 Years ago buying 32 GB of RAM and the only upgrades I made recently are my video card and upping Windows 7 to 64 Bit.

Only doing it cause you never know when you might need it. I run a lot of software at the same time. And when GTA V comes up, i'm gonna use about 16 for start up and load on it.

Ah okay, that makes sense. 

So I have a question for you guys, something that I haven't found an answer to... Say I currently have 8GB of RAM running dual-channel.  And, say I want to upgrade to 16GB.  What would be better, add two 4GB modules and run it quad-channel, or get two 8GB modules and run dual-channel again?

I'm so jealous >_<

For 1080p gaming on a single monitor, you've spent too much money. I mean, two 780s? That is so unnecessary...

It's really up to you how you want to run it, my opinion, i run quad channel incase I need to add the ram to something, IE boot time on a game. So it's really up to you

Sorry -_-

Guess I forget to mention I already have a monitor. Just got the second one.

My general style of response to people pimping their PC stats:

But yeah, cool.
