$100 Gift Card to BestBuy!

If you're going to upgrade computer parts, I wouldn't recommend using Best Buy. You can buy the same stuff (better stuff actually) for a lot less.

Should I get 4 2gb sticks, or just play it safe and get 2 2gb sticks and 2 1gb sticks?

And also, what company, I've heard good thing about Kingston and Corsair.

I think Corsair has a better name for themselves but Kingston is good as well. I am using Corsair ram in my desktop and I have had zero problems.

It's a giftcard for Best Buy, so I can't spend it anywhere else.

I got a new graphics card and a new headset this Christmas.

My girlfriend supposedly bought me either a Razer mouse or a Cyborg keyboard. We will see.

Here is what I'm looking to upgrade now:

-Basics-
Case: CoolerMaster Elite 341
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz
RAM: 4.00 GB
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Power Supply: 650 WATT
Video Card: GeForce nVidia GTS 250 512MB

-Accessories-
Mouse: Logitech MX518 Gaming Mouse
Keyboard: Super Slim Acrylic Illuminated Keyboard (GOT IT OFF XOXIDE SALE! DONT FRONT!)
Headset: Creative Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset
Mouse Pad: Razer Goliathus Speed Edition Mouse Pad

Mouse, Case, or Keyboard. $100 to spend!

HEY! I got one those $100 Best Buy Gift Cards too!

Decisions decisions... :2

Fuck a keyboard... That really doesn't effect your gaming (you won't gain or lose anything). You just mash buttons.

I would look into replacing your mouse, buy more/new RAM, or get a new case.

I think I'm going to buy a new case with my Christmas money. This is the case I currently have, I got it for $20 from Newegg. It was originally $100+, but got like a $80-$90 mail-in rebate off that hoe.

Thermaltake Xaser V Damier (It's deactivated)

I dunno what case I want. I was looking to get the Antec 900, but I dunno. Everyone and their mom has that.

It's a :4 and weighs like one too! It was one of my Christmas presents, and is replacing my Antec 900.

I would look into Razer mice. There are some new ones out now. I got the Razer Lachesis last christmas and i love it.
