Daisy that is a sweet build as well I'm intrigued I just want to know if it has a quad core? I couldn't tell
 
I noticed both builds called for 4GB of ram,is that decent? I'm sure games coming out soon require atleast that right? I have an ASUS laptop with 5gb of ram I just want a powerful desktop could I squeeze in 6 gigs with those parts?
