8GB out of 12GB recognized

No, no OC yet. Really at this point I don't see the need. The PC flying as it is. I might try something out in a near future. If I do I'll let you know.

9800GT or GTX260

Thanks guys, looks like for what I do I?ll be fine with 9800GT for now and I should be able to upgrade later in a few moths if I wanted to. About 4830, I?m not a big ATI fan, just a personal preference. I?m not sure that Gigabyte mobo I selected will support crossfire of SLI so I don?t think...

9800GT or GTX260

Thanks for reply toyota. Well unfortunately money are not unlimited. I wanted to stay around $1k mark +- $100-150. If I?ll go with GTX260 this going to be above what I thought. But If I can justify the price with obvious performance gain I would probably do it.

The problem I see with i7 build right now is not the CPUs but motherboards. I'm not talking about $500 ones, but the same motherboards for s775 builds gives your much more options at this time.
