look at it this way, if I was to build my PC right now I'd go with 16gb.
My previous PCs have had 12gb, 6gb, and now I have 8gb. I'll go to 16 or 32 when I need it. I've never used anything close to 8gb on my desktop. So RAM is a little overrated unless you are running virtual PCs, CAD, server stuff, etc. Also, I wouldnt bother with windows 7. Get windows 8 and run a custom start menu on it, if it pisses you off that much. The I7 is a nice processor, but pretty much pointless in the real world, I'd go I5 and upgrade later if you really need to. |

I have no idea what's bad about 8, just Requiem mentioned to get 7 because I would like it more. keeping in mind Im still using XP because I simply like it the best. |

I just bought a Core i5-3570 for $215, over $100 less than the Core i7 you're looking at and you get basically the same performance.
