My current system is:
Phenom 9750
MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum
Antec Trio 650W
Zerotherm Zen FZ120 Cpu Cooler
500 GB HD
I was wondering what RAM I should purchase. I had 4GB Corsair XMS2 PC6400 Ram, but it died and I could take the opportunity to replace it. I will use the computer for gaming and mostly vector based design with Illustrator. Would it be better to go for 1066, or just buy a large amount of 800 mhz ram? I have heard that speed >volume for gaming, but the opposite for digital art. What should I choose?
I also need to buy a video card for this build. What is a reasonably priced one that is good for vector based art? I would like one(or two in SLI0 that cost $207.74 or less.
