MEMORY: 8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Module

I was just wondering if this computer has compatible parts and if there are any tweaks that I should do. I'm working with a budget btw.

4GBx2 will be cheaper than 2GBx4 and you will have more upgrade room.


From my own experience: 7200RPM causes a noticeable lag while loading Crysis 2 savegames and has unaspiring data transfer speeds of 138 MB/s. You might want to get a 10000 RPM drive.

7200RPM is fine.
