[QUOTE="etheesdad, post: 359619, member: 84335"] Probably more than enough ram atm. 2gb plenty. ram is cheap though, so no huge outlay for the additional 2gb. I run my machine with 2gb (vista) and no swap file, and its very quick. Scythe ninja mini is an excellent choice, they're a little pricey but can be run passively so a great way to get 0 noise. You may have some cooling constraints because of the matx case. If you want the machine silent there may be a compromise between using a case this small and a full-form factor enclosure. 4850e will do that fine. My only reservation would be about using the 8200 on the M3N78-VM as your GPU. I guess worst case scenario if its not great would be to add something like a passive 4550 radeon - these are very cheap and ample for perfect fullhd/1080p, but you'll see soon enough how it runs and its not a huge outlay to add a discrete gpu if needed. I would be very interested to hear your results playing 1080p with the 8200. What will you be using as PSU? (couldnt see one included with the Origen AE S10V) [/QUOTE]
