I'm certainly going for 16 Gb RAM. My build has a water cooling system, which I have never had before. I would like to give that a try.
AMD vs. Intel? Are the i5s and i7s so much better than the AM3+ to justify a huge price difference? So far I am leaning toward the AMD line. I've had great luck with both brands. My Phenom was great and my servers all have 2 Xeons, which are pretty amazing as well.
Need and want are two different things. Did you ever buy a car with exactly as much horsepower as you generally need? 42 bucks for double RAM is worth it IMO. This is a fun build. If 8Gb sticks were affordable, there would be 4 of those instead.
