If that ram is "Out of Stock", just go with another top brand, ie A-Data, G.Skill, Corsair,Kingston, or Crucial.

For the same money, you could get a larger hard drive. They fill up faster than you think, especially if you store pictures. Look at the Western Digital SE16 Caviar line.

Looks good otherwise.
