How much RAM for my new computer?

Thanks Jim,

For the moment I've chosen to use:

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL

Looks about the same specs as the mem you've suggested - and $40 for 8GB -deklivered (from NE).

I'll take another look.
