Computer Advice
For my future computer, I'm not sure whether or not I should get 8gb or 16gb of RAM. My friends all tell me that 8gb is already overkill but, I don't know, I want a few more opinions. Don't tell me to Google it either.

You can get 600 gigs of ram won't do you any good if your comp can't use it. A 64bit OS can only use 8 gigs effectively. A 32 bit OS can only use 4 gigs effectively.

It's going to be Windows 7 64 bit and I'm already getting dual Radeon 6950s in CrossFire. My processor is also going to be i7-2600k so I don't think I need to save money for anything else.

It's water cooled. Corsair 1,000w HX for my PSU. The case is also Corsair, Obsidian 800D. Originally Posted by Bombsaway707Jr

2x 1TB HDDs in RAID 1 is good enough for me. I'm using this for gaming, not calculating endless digits of PI. Originally Posted by Charizard.

As for the OP, 8GB is plenty. 12 Is as high as I would ever care to go, and 16 is just a pure waste of money. Also, unless you plan on doing some pretty heavy over clocking, and have 4 or more HDD's and 2 or more GPU's, I would skip the water cooling and get a smaller PSU.
