Tempted to step up from my 8gb...

This + 10% promo code = sweet deal! But do I really need 16GB of ram? What am I going to do with all that?!?

I tried the 10% off memory promo code but it didn't work, however it could be because I haven't ordered from NewEgg in a long time (last major build I did was almost 2 years ago).

You could setup a RAMDisk and use it as a scratch disk, your temporary disk for your browsers/apps etc. Many uses besides just being [H]ard

Keep in mind the superfetch feature of Windows will use your spare RAM to pre-load commonly accessed files into memory when the machine is idle.

I would have been happy with 8GB (my current 4GB even works fine in most situations) but for this price, to essentially future-proof it right from the start, it seems worthwhile to spend a little more up front and double the capacity.

That seems fun... like a lot of fun. Never heard of RAMDisks until now. I have much to ponder.

Ordered mine this morning

I was all ready to go with this exactly RAM for my build, I just hadn't ordered it yet (thankfully) but now I get to save myself $50.

I think I'm going to pass. 8gb is enough for me. And I really need to upgrade my CPU before anything else. But still a sweet deal!
