Almost there; some input?

So, I'm almost ready to buy a pc, made my build, got the money, all ready. I could use some quick input guys, if you could be so kind...:)

My main concerns are whether the 4GB RAM will be available 100% for use, whether the GPU will operate as designed in accordance with the other items and the like....I'm probably going for W7 in 64bit, despite its price! Also, the RAM cards are at 1066, but the motherboard supports 1333 and 1600Mhz, would that affect effectiveness as in it won't operate as designed? And will all the 4GB be used or will some problem occur saying only 2 GB are used and the like? And lastly, whether games like GTA IV will play smoothly and as originated to play.

INTEL CORE I5-750 2.66 GHZ LGA1156
KINGSTON KVR1066D3N7/2G DDR3 2GB PC8500 1066MHZ
MSI P55M-GD41
GAINWARD 0810 GEFORCE GTS250 CUDA 1GB DDR3
WESTERN DIGITAL 320GB WD3200AVJS AV SATA2
EXTERNAL: WESTERN DIGITAL WDBAAU5000EBK ELEMENTS DEKSTOP 500GB

(I already have a 23' full HD screen suffering its existence in this garbage pc)

Seriously, thanks for your time :)

edit; oh the supply's 450watts

If you want to use all of your 4gb of ram, make sure you stick with a 64-bit os and it will take advantage of it! Boards that are designed for quicker ram should also be backwards compatible with slower versions. As for gta running smoothly, i dont see why not
;)

i hope that helps
 
64-bit os will allows you to use all 4 gb or ram. the ram will operate at 1066 (1200 with oc, depending on ram). gta4 is INSANELY cpu intensive but you should be fine. are you oc'ing anything?
 
If the prices over there are anything like they are here, there should be a 1333 version of that RAM for nearly the same price. Have you checked?

Otherwise, looks good :)

Ah, thank you, that' exactly what I wanted to hear. I will check, many thanks for that comment of yours, it surely enlightened me!

I don't think I'm going to oc anything ever, considering the 450watt power supply fact. Thanks guys, I heard exactly what I needed to hear. Be well. :)
 
What brand of 450W is that? You will need a quality one to push GTS 250
Check the price of ATI 4850/ 4770 as well. They work as fast as GTS 250

I'm going with GTS 250 since the ones you mentioned are either cheap and at 512MB or are even more expensive than the one I picked.

I've settled with a 600W Thermaltake, is that good? (Separate box and the like)
