I built a pc along the same specs except it had the sata 10,000rpm hdd for a gamer friend. I wish i took pics

I would have to say thats pretty good and I would mos def get that extra gig of ram the more the better. Especially if you like to run a virtual machine.

id upgrade your vid card before youu go 2 gigs of ram because really unless your doin some heavy vid editing there is no need for 2 gigs
