I agree with plaid. Since you'll be gaming I'd hold off on the RAM & bump up a notch on the video card. A 6800 would make a larger difference than faster RAM and 6800GT's start at ~$210. Later you can spend $40 windfalls for fast 512MB sticks. Video cards don't lend themselves to incremental upgrades.
