Thanks for the help so far, are you saying its a definite that i need more than 4GB of RAM? Seems like a lot to me

Ive built a few pc's but not for years, so dont mind doing it that way, im just confused about the spec's as theyve moved on loads since i last built one.

A few blokes at work reckon that it's worth going for the Intel Quad Core over the AMD chip, any views on this?
