I wouldn't get that RAM. No name stuff always should be avoided, you don't know what you end up with. I would get this RAM: http://www.cuttingedgecomputers.ca/shopexd.asp?id=1423 Or this RAM: http://www.cuttingedgecomputers.ca/shopexd.asp?id=2079

Because like I said, you don't know who manufactured the RAM and what you end up with. Good brands with good reputation deliver service. If something goes wrong, you know where you can go to in order to address the problems you experience. In case you don't have a name or brand, your stuck...

I would replace the 7950GT with a 8800GTX and add at least 1GB extra RAM to be sure about that

It's not a good time to buy that card.Ā  Get a DX10 card.Ā  The only option at the moment is the GeForce 8800 series.Ā  If you want to wait a while, ATi will release their DX10 card eventually.
