not too fussed about a graphics card atm, i'll see how BF3 runs on my old 8800GT, if it's shit i'll upgrade next month.
My main question is about the RAM, this is mainly a rig to run zBrush with minimum stutter but obviously I'll game on top of that - apparently zBrush is a hog for RAM so I thought i'd go for 16GB, however would money be better spent on less GB with a lower latency or does it not really make that much difference anymore?
cheers for your input
