But I will get a 26-27inch Samsung, LCD/LED. 100Hz/200Hz. Full 1080p.

Be careful when your getting a 27" thats only at 1080p. Depending on how sensitive your eyes are or how far back you sit from your monitor you might find the pixel density isnt high enough. I myself find that 1080p on a 24" isnt suitable for me so I went with a 23" instead. And for my 27" i went with a 2560x1440 monitor (u2711), so remember that size doesnt equal higher quality.

now onto your ram problem, if your really paranoid just grab something from the list. tbo 4gb is probably enough for most people in most situations. To test that I ran using 4gb for a week and i didnt feel much of a difference(word processing, movies, gaming, general non-professional usage). The only reason to get 8gb kits is cause they're dirt cheap right now so why not :D

I dont think the pixel density is all that low but I sit about 3 feet away tops. Saw one in the store yesterday I looked very nice and bright even compared to a 24in the density did not bother me. I do like high density monitors though i saw a 1080p 21in Acer and it did look really sharp it is all preference I guess but I can see why you would want a higher density.

Actually here is a similar one to the high density model I saw in the store it is pretty cheap when I think about how great it looked led back lit too.

i got a 21"5 monitor with 1920x1080p res, it was quite good for 180$, AOC e2240vw was the model number. i use it for watching movies, sucks when i play 420p on it(had to force blur+noise reduce to make it look clean), but makes me wow when i play 1080p movies.
