I would suggest swapping the Motherboard from the one you have there to a nice 990FX board. that chip needs a lot of power and i bet that board would cry tears of broken mosfets and VRM if you tried to overclock that chip... I would also suggest building yourself rather than buying a pre-built.

I think the manufacturer is trying to dupe him into believing page file is actual ram...

[Guest]

4096 = total = All RAM

8192 = 1x Ram Stick

The top number is the total on a stick below it it's says 2x so 8

On the CPU side why not get 8320 so you can save money.

[PassionFruit]

Get a better motherboard and a 8320 instead.

I really recommend at least a 2TB drive, as with only 20 games, a few mods and the Adobe Suite I have used over 500GB's. Its always safer (for the future) to go higher.

Are you speaking of the M5A78L-M/USB3? It isnt that bad (though I am unsure of this with the eight cores). I have a system running that motherboard and an FX6300 @3.8GHz 1.28v with a 7870GHz, and its been perfectly fine for about half a year. 

[s3ns3]

(though I am unsure of this with the eight cores)

yeah
