Why would anyone get a GT240 for PhysX? Hardly any games support it especially the bigger games. He'd be far better off spending that money on a faster CPU and getting more general purpose performance.
Also good basic generic RAM is fine for just running a PC within normal parameters. You don't need a fancy cooler for memory so something basic like Kingston works just as well as anything which costs 10-30% more.

G.Skill memory is not expensive, is very good with voltage, and is very stable, not to mention they do RMA very fast if shit happens, at least in the US. I don't know about that Lalaland Mum is from.
GT240 would be a waste of money indeed. For general media quality, ability to support more than 3 monitors on the go, 3D gaming, 3D movies, good power consumption, and good gaming performance, etc, go with the 6850 for now.

Well I'll put it this way, its probably not worth much of a premium over good quality generic stuff but if its cheap then go for it. I don't think overclocking RAM matters so much given the fact that all of the CPUs have been optimised for slower stock standard DDR3 and all have very large L2/L3 caches.
@GTX 460: It has been discontinued due to the fact that the GTX 560 is coming out in January.

even as regular DDR3-1333 memory, I'd say go for G.Skill, they are not anymore expensive than generic memory really, they are just good quality. Currently I don't see any reason to go beyond 1600 tbh and those are not expensive either especially during the current holidays.
