New computer build help

[Bigjmaster18]

Hey guys i havent been keeping up with computer parts for a while and just wanted to upgrade my system. I have a pretty old computer with nothing special but i do have a decent NZXT case.

I would like 4gigs of ram(does 8gig make a difference in using vista?) Quad core cpu and a motherboard that allows a dual slot video card without blocking any pci slots.

Those are my three upgrades that i need help with. any ideas?

4GB is enough for Vista. You won't need 8GB of RAM unless you do a ton of virtualization and photoshopping.

Now before we can help you better, we need a few more answers:
- What's your budget?
- What size monitor do you have?
- What are you planning to do with this new rig?
- How long do you plan on keeping this rig for?
- Will you be overclocking?
