Hey fellas and (gals?) I'm not new to anandtech and it seems like you guys know your stuff. I am in need of some advice on my new build. I was up to date on everything related to computers but been out of the loop for the past few years. Its been 6 years since I've built my last PC and things have changed greatly. Here's what I have set up. My goal is to keep it under $1500. I already have a 20 inch monitor. Sound system. About the ram should I run quad memory sticks since its a quad core processor? (noob question) Anything that i'm missing/add or subtract? Thanks guys!
