RAM memory and Blu Ray drive

A few weeks or so ago I installed the new DDR 3 RAM that I had bought from Newegg.ca. It's pretty nice now with the extra memory. And if I want to do some video editing and encoding I will have that extra RAM.
I have also bought a Blu Ray drive. I bought it to backup my files so I can reinstall windows for maintenance purposes. I haven't installed it yet since I don't have a SATA cable and also I am busy with other things. Hopefully I can get it installed this weekend.

More RAM....

Today I just bought some more RAM memory for the gaming PC. I am now will be up to 12GB of DDR3 Memory. I bought a pair of 4GB sticks which was pretty cheap. 60 bucks including shipping. I am particularly pumped about this because it improves the capability of the machine so I can do more things without running out of memory.
Next up is an SSD drive like I have been saying in the previous post.

My next PC upgrades

The next upgrade for my main PC would be an SSD (Solid state drive). The advantage of this upgrade is that programs will load faster in Windows, and Windows 7 it self will load in seconds. Before I do this upgrade I'm going to wait until the price of the SSD's are close to par with the spinning hard drives that are priced pretty cheap.
The other upgrade would be more RAM. I would like to bump it up to 8 GB or maybe 16. I have 4 right now. I don't think that I will use all the RAM ever but perhaps I could run a lot more programs and not have a insufficient amount of it. And also I can do some video editing in the future I guess.
My storage upgrade will definitely be the biggest upgrade of the two.

Cheap PC Build

I am in the process of collecting some cheap PC parts. I have decided to do a cheap build in order to gain some experience in the computer building world before I spend a great deal of money on a "monster" PC or more like a up to date one. I am waiting for a response on a Athlon 64 3500+ CPU and Geforce Video Card from a individual on Kijiji. And I have eyed up a compatible motherboard on Ebay.ca from a company in Markham, Ontario which has excellant feedback. I think I will get RAM from Crucial.com for this build because they are fast and cheap(well actually the RAM for 2x 1gb sticks are just as much as the motherboard). I would have to get a new copy of an OS though.
