To Spore, Yeah, my stuff uses a lot of RAM. my wireless adapter uses like 512mb all alone. And one of my favorite games uses ALOT of memory. It needs at least 3-4 gigs of free memory to runs smoothly, and good graphics card and CPU. Hence the triple core and 9800GT.
 
The only thing I can think of is getting a better CPU heatsink and fan, dont care to much for Rosewill. Something like a Zalman/Cooler Master/Zerotherm/Arctic Cooling

Edit On that Corsair P/S if you put in esave15 in the promo code area if you order before the 27th you get a extra 18 bucks off.

Well, doesn't look like I'll get the promo code because I have like no money now. The only way I'm gonna be able to get this is that my grandpa is said he would buy me a computer for a Christmas again. I got the one down below from him too.
