I know many don't like people with alot of money, but I am not trying to show off! I wanted a good gaming pc, so this is the one. I am only 15, and have average experience on this.

I went to the GameSpot forum and they told me these are some good sets, I should stay with DDR3 RAM and use HD 4870X2 2GB in crossfire. I would like to know your opinions about this! I also need a water cooling system, could you help?

Right now, I have Windows Vista 32-bit, and wonder if I should get the 64 bit or go XP..
