RAM: You want triple channel (3 dimms) so 6GB or 12GB (3x2GB or 3x4GB)

GPU: Get a 1GB GTX 460 (has more shaders/rops and more memory)

PSU: Could get away with a Corsair TX-650
 
RAM - 6GB, Preferbly DDR3 1600
Video card - 6870/ GTX 460 1GB
PSU - 850W is needed only if you run Dual video card in future.
 
ok ill get the upgraded video card
and look at some new RAM

i looked at the specs of the tuner and it does apear to be much beter

can i control the tuner from my computer without a remote?

thanks guys

and would triple channel 6gb ram be beter than the 2 sticks of 4 gb that i have?
