Yeah, I guess so. I'm using a 32-bit right now so I'm going to get a 64-bit next.

A few questions that I need answers to:
- How many RAM should I get? Which brand makes quality/reliable ones?
- Power supply?
- Graphics card? And I'm going to be using HDMI for my monitor but I'm assuming all cards now come with HDMI, right?
- Motherboard?
- Fan/heatsink? I don't know where to start for this one. Everything is pretty much the same, right? Unless it's watercooling....you know a little something on this subject blindsay.
- Considering an SSD for my OS also, which brand? Is there an internal SSD or just external?

Thanks fellow members!
