so im upgrading my computer and my budget is 600 max the things i need are a cpu/mobo, memory, a video card and a new power supply I havnt built a computer in about four years and am pretty lost on what to buy

I was thinking of starting with 2 sets of these

the ram you posted is good but i dont think you really NEED to spend that much on ram unless you can afford better then go ahead also 8gb ram wayyyy overkill

Setup computerruler posted is great.

If you're on a x64 system and you can afford 8 gigs, go for it. Make sure the rebate'll apply more than once - likely it won't.
