Hi Ladies n Gents,

I have paid for the following but am wondering if I should change anything?

I was curious about upgrading the memory from 1333 to say 1600 or even 2000 but would this really benifit me significantly?

Or would you change anything else? this is primerally for cs5 and lightroom work but might play the odd game, maybe!

Hey,

The specification you have put together look brilliant. I wouldn't change a thing!

To be honest with you, you probably wouldn't notice the difference by upgrading the RAM to say 1600MHz/2000MHz. This faster RAM really only benefits those who will be overclocking their PCs as it allows them to push their PC to the absolute limit, where 1333MHz would limit how far the CPU could be OC'd.
