It's free UK delivery and it costs around £30..?

I checked the cheapest norwegian offer. 300 NOK, which equals to 30£. That's without delivery though. I'd say 34£ is worth it anyway. But yeah, that original price seems a bit strange...

Edit: that's also a limited time offer. Original price is 600 NOK, apparently.

Double edit: One thing to consider is that those are quite tall though (because of the cooling things on top). If you have a aftermarket CPU heatsink, it might collide with the memory sticks :/

Everyone here is so helpful and nice its almost creepy
Sorry that I change my mind so often in this thread, Ive just never done this before so I am very unsure of what I'm going to end up doing. I think I am going to keep my AMD Radeon 7870 GPU and use the suggestions given earlier. My budget is now around 600, below 650.
I'm going to go with the cheapest memory I can find for above 4GB because I dont typically store a ton on my computer, and I'll be sure to keep it all clean. Ill buy a new case and drives which won't be above $100. Do you guys think that the CPU and motherboard are good? Those look the most promising for now. The power supply shouldnt be too much of an issue either, I already have one in mind.

Speaking of CPU, on a scale of 1 to 10, how good is a 3.3HGz intel Celeron D Processor?

What are you talking about? That makes no sense at all. RAM has nothing to do with storage

I don't think you understand what RAM does ..

get 8GB of it at a decent speed (probably 1600 or higher) but make sure your motherboard supports it.
