It's pretty expensive. I think the ram is about 100~180 dollars. The graphics card is about 300~400 dollars, and i plan to use these for about 5 years or so.

You mind getting links for those Rams?
How much is your budget at?
And, where do you plan to buy them?

What are you trying to do with it? If you're gonna game, I think thats decent and will run pretty much any game in the next year or two at moderate if not high quality. But if you're looking for just browsing the web and writing up reports, serious overkill.

Does the graphics card have dedicated video memory? If so, how much?
It seems good though
