I'm building a new system, and I don't want to cheap out, just trying to work out what's the best build without having to spend money later on to upgrade.

here's the current build
i5 760 2.8GHz Quad Core
Asus Maximus III Gene mATX board
Patriot Inferno 60GB SSD
EVGA GTX 460 1GB Vid Card

I will be using this for PS (Photography side hobby), as well as gaming. I know that PS CS5 will actually make use of the extra ram, but do you think it's worth it to get the 2x4GB sticks as opposed to 2x2GB sticks? I'm looking into overclocking, and I know that having 4x2GB is bad for that, so it's easier to go for the full 2x4GB right in the beginning....

anybody have any wisdom they would like to share? thanks!
