[Darko]

heh, well, this specs are awesome!! just like mine but different gpu ! nothing to add

 

[Sleinous]

Ye nothing to change except psu to an HX1000W if u plan on adding a second Gtx 480 in there at a later date. Nice choice on the hdd

 

[steve jones]

Could i swap the 1600 mhz memory and not impact performance too much?.

 

[Sleinous]

Yes you can swap down to 1333mhz by samsung, its more suited to non overclockers and runs slightly more stably. Samsung also make their own chips unlike corsair and kingston

 

[Slurpak]

i would advise switching down to 1333mHz as it won't imact the performance much, and will run more stably. it would also save you money. i would only advise 1600mHz if you are overclocking.
