Once again, Faoeoa might upgrade his PC more

[Faoeoa]

I have 2 spare DDR3 slots, should i get another 1333MHZ 2x4GB set of RAM?
Then i'm moving up to a ATI 4870 Crossfired (because i'm poor & irish)
i5 2500k doesn't need updating?
Neither does much else.
Will such upgrades be useful?

Yeah more ram isn't going to do anything, you should try getting like a current graphics card which will actually make a difference

A 4870 is really useful
I just want to have more RAM for the future ahead.
As i'm getting ready for battlefield three, i need to get to 12GB of RAM because 8GB isnt enough for my multitasking

What are you doing, I have 4gb of RAM and I have 2 monitors and multitask the stuff out of this and have never had a problem, and if you're futureproofing shouldn't you get a dx11 card?
